I would suggest you raise your sg to 1.025-1.026. 1.0264 is the average sg of the worlds reefs.

Personally, I think that Cycle product is taboo. Just like the bagged "live" sand. Well advertised marketing scheme.

As many as there are aquarists, there are differing opinions. Now? Two weeks? Ultimately, it's your decision Scott.
Re: The SG....it's a FOWLR, so IMO it doesn't need to be that high. I kept my FOWLR at 1.022 (pre Zeovit) with no problem.
Re: The Cycle product. Agreed that it's a waste of $.
