What is so good about diatoms is that it is a stage in the cycling process that occurs towards the end of the cycle. So it means you are on the home stretch..........

well tomorrow is my b day so i will be getting some cash

this week im gunna try and get my CUC goin. snails, fighting conch, pep shrimp, and cleaner shrimp. im taking it slow and making sure i dont crash the tank or do something its not ready for. i have to wait until i get my lighting to start on any corals. so my purchases for now will just be inverts and fish. i guess technically it will be a fowlr for now
the fish i am going to get are
pair of true percs
yellow watchman goby shrimp combo

Good starting plan. Best to make sure of your water parameters prior to addding any shrimp though. They don't take kindly to trying to acclimate to a tank with elevated nitrate, or any ammonia or nitrite.
