Should I be concerned that I am NOT getting problem algae after cycle?

My 110g tank completed it's Ammonia cycle a week and a half ago. Ammonia and Nitrites has been at 0. My tank has mostly dry rock with 20# live rock to seed. Kessil AP700 lights have been on throughout cycle.
After a week and a half I have no signs of problem algae of any kind. Is it possible that there is not always algae blooms? Is it possible that it will take longer for it to occur? Can this indicate a problem?

Tank parameters:
Salinity consistently 1.025 (ATO)
pH: 8.23
Alkalinity average 8.46
Phosphate .07 ppm
Calcium 394 ppm

I'm probably just being annal.

Don't worry, the ugly stage will come. Do you have any load in the tank yet. I see that you N03 and P04 are at 0 which is why I ask. When you start to put a load on the tank, aka fish, the algae will get nitrates and phosphates it need to grow and welcome ugly stage. After you start to get a load on the tank make sure you keep your N03 and P04 above zero as keeping it at 0 with dry rocks can lead to other troubles down the road.

Thanks for the response. Last Tuesday I put in a Red Lined Wrasse, an Orchid Dottyback, a Cleaner Shrimp and Fire Shrimp. All are doing well.

Thanks. As I mentioned in the above posts I put in some livestock, but am holding off putting in any corals (and it's killing me).

IME, the uglies last for 6 months to a year, and even then will come and go from time to time. You haven't even begun that stage yet.
