Everyone is entitled to disagree. My research comes from 30+ years of experience. The fact is that biological cycling is what determines when you can add inhabitants, not algae or diatom production. Everytime you add animals to a closed system you will increase ammonia production, the reason you go slow is to keep the ammomia peaks very small so that the beneficial bacteria have time to catch up each time with the increase in bioload. This is independent with any other thing going on in the tank. It is these biological aspects that actually allow closed systems to work. Blane, you should follow advice that you feel is sound and fits comfortably with your plans, most of them will get you to the same stage at some point, some will just prolong your ability to add fish.
