Never tried Aquaclay before? Care to share a pic of how it looks like? Anyway I am a die-hard fan of Biohome plus and Mr Aqua Ceramic Rings...U may consider adding some CC to help buffer your tank PH....

You are right. Dun add CC during cycling. Else you PH will be high.
Only add in CC when live stock is in and add slowly.

IMO, remove the bioballs and replace with media like CR or Biohomme
