Tank startup question

[zeltar]

I am almost ready to start filling my tank with RO/DI water and add salt.
I have a new (to me) CA reactor and have never had one previously. My question is when should I start using it? As soon as possible or wait until after the cycle?

TIA.

Just wait besides not needing it you dont want to pollute the media.

Using it at this point would be a waste for all intents and purposes. I would wait until the cycle is finished and I start adding more than a coral/clam or two. Just my opinion though....

Check your calcium reading. If you dont have demand for it, i dont think you dont need it. And I dont think you needed it at this very early part. You may use those two part if you really think you need to boost.

Take your time, patience is a virtue that you need in this hobby.
