You might want to setup the lines and pump and test it for leaks etc but no need to turn on CO2 until there is actual demand.

ok do i need to add cal alk or mag while its cycling

No need, nothing is growing or using up the calcium and alkalinity that is in your salt mix. Dosing is performed to replace what is being used by corals to make their skeletons. You honestly can keep up with simple water changes at first. Once the demand outpaces the amount you can replenish with water changes, then its time for dosing or a calcium reactor.
