Hi Stuart,

I see absolutely no problem with adding a cleanup crew.

Thank's for posting so soon, i'm very excited. Do you think it would be foolish, or to soon to add 1 or 2 peppermint shrimp with my cleanup crew, Thank's again Stuart

No, I don't think it would be foolish or too soon to add a few shrimp either. If your ammonia and nitrites are undetectable, your nitrates low, pH, temp and salinity steady, I say go for it. A few weeks after adding your cleanup crew, if all still looks well, go ahead and add your first fish/coral too.
