I was told somewhere that you could put in part of the cleanup crew during
the cycling. Is this correct? -Chris

Yes, depending what do you consider your cleanup crew.
Hermit crabs (blue legs) are pretty hardy, but snails do not
withstand very high ammonia spikes... I would not put any
live animals until you will have ammonia on your downhill.
Nitrites following ammonia are less poisonous in sal****er and
you could slowly start putting animals during 2nd cycle phase.
