Default Invert CUC for new tank

How long before I can add a CUC to my new 90 gallon, It was set up on Friday with Live Sand and cured LR. I have tested everyday since set up and have seen no spike in any readings. Is there a certian amount of time to wait until adding a CUC, I do have a little bit of green algea but I havent seen the infamous Diatom yet

I would wait for the cycle to end first.

Yeah, I'd wait until you see some diatoms. I know on my nano it only took about a week, versus almost 3 weeks on my 120.
