yep, too early, i would wait until the cycle has completed

wait......let your tank finish cycling. No problem in waiting for more algae to grow. More food for your clean-up crew. They will make short work of it. Plus, most clean-up crews may not survive a cycle.

will do... thanks!

Waiting is the key...and the tease
I think I waited almost 3 months before I added any clean-up critters. That heavy growth of algae after the cycle is a grand buffet to the cleaner critters.
