Now is the perfect time to test calcium and alk levels. Raising calcium levels, if they have been depleted during the curing process will bring back your coraline algae. Wish I had paid more attention to alk and calcium when I was setting up all my tanks. I'm sure I would have a lot more coraline now if I had.

Here's a great article on alk and calcium:
