Default What to do - thoughts appreciated

Our tank has had salt in it now for 2 weeks and the sand cloud from Thursday night has cleared. All params are stable and very close to what I'd like to see
79.9 - 80.3 F
pH 8.13
Silicates 0
Copper 0
NH3 0
NO2 0
NO3 0
PO4 0
KH 9
Ca 460
Mg 1350
Sg 1.026

So now I have a decision to make;
1 - Start off with some easy softies and feed them to seed the tank ( plus QT some fish ) or ...
2 - QT a fish or 2 and start seeding the tank with them next month

Choice 1 is obviously the more costly risk, but will give fish something to come home to
Choice 2 will probably seed more readily and be less risky for this beginner, but then I'll have to wait for a QT cycle before adding anything to the DT

In the meantime I have a big ball of chaeto in it's tank and I'm getting some small branching algae on the LR and a hi flow area of glass
If I add any kind of CUC right now, it would be just a snail or 2 as I wouldn't want them to starve

So, what are your thoughts ?
Thanks for your input
