Default When to start more in depth water test when adding LPS

I have just added 3 frags to my tank, Candy Cane (3 polyps), Moon (about 20 X 1/2" polyps) and a Zenia (about 3" diameter). In addition i have a Colt that is about 8" tall with numerous branches and a small colony of about 20 shrooms. My tank is only 40 gallons and all my standard tests (ph 8.3, No2 0, No3 0, Am 0, SG) are all ok. From what i have been reading i will need to start watching my alk and dHK. I have the saltwater API test kit, what other tests should i be performing, or am i premature since my colonies are so small?
