are you using rodi water?
as far as corals go depends on if you're using products to speed up your cycle or just cycling it the good old fashioned way

Lots of people use tap water, but its not ideal. Better to have a ro/di filter. Just be prepared for high Po4, and the algae that comes along with it. But, that being said, everybody gets some form of algae.

Any chance you could provide us with some more details of your system?
