I would still test the Mg & Alk, even with being a new system, I know with my tank I have to do the Alk as it will drop nearly a point a day if I don't, and I have a small tank with not that many corals in it.

You don't really have anything that consumes a significant amount of calc/alk like SPS. If your tank becomes very LPS dominated you may have too but only time and testing will tell. As long as you do regular water changes with a good salt you should be fine. Don't just measure calc, alk shifts more dramatically on a day to day basis than calc.
