Of course you shouldn't add even a cleanup crew until your cycle is done. I don't see an issue adding a sand-sifter shortly so long as it's confirmed to also be eating say a pellet or something too. Like any other fish it needs something to eat but if it's like my diamond watchman for example it will eat NLS pellets ALL DAY =)

Realistically if your levels are 'stable' even after 2 weeks, those critters should have lived. Your temp being at 35 more than likely what killed them. Sorry to hear.
When no critters in the tank (just rock and sand), bringing the salinity up quickly should not be an issue. Also, im with Beverly on the detritus... mid-cycle or not, detritus will break down, will settle into the substrate(mainly) and rock pores, hard to reach areas, etc.. The cleaner you keep it, the less nutrient build-up. Less nutrient build-up = less problems = happy reefer. Cheers, Chris
