Beginner questions

Thanks. Blackpowder is a protein, fibre, cytokinin, yeast additive that is to maximize growth and color in hard corals and live rock. Just wondering if I need to continue it after cycling is done. I'm not concerned about costs a whole lot (obviously we don't do this hobby cheaply) but am a bit confused by every visit getting a different story as to what I must have. I'll keep watching these boards and try to learn from the people here, although who knows if the info is REALLY credible right?
