macros during cycle?

[Sea~Horse~Whisperer]

Yesterday I set up a new 47G Column tank to move my Erectus into when the cycle completes. Do I have to wait for it to cycle before I add the macros to the new tank, or can they go in now? Everything is NEW. I've never started 100% from scratch before so I have always added them immediatly. ( On previous tanks I used the Live rock, sand, and water from other established tanks I had so there really wasn't any cycle to worry about.)

Tank info:
set up date 7/16/06

Tank 47G Column 20x18x31 (l x w x h)
Filter magnum 350 deluxe
60 lbs. LR (haiti)
5 in. sand bed
Aqua-tech 30-60 hang on power filter (temporary...clearing the sandstorm)
Lighting 24w standard output (will be 1- 250w 20k MH when it's cycled)
No sump or skimmer
Temp 74
water 1.024

thanks,
Angie

I would think they would be fine and may even help with the cycle but I have never start a new tank either.
