I would say about now is a good time to start both reactors...... and in less than 5 min you are going to have the tang police calling you out!!!!! honestly the tank is way to small for the tang.
If you had the same lights from your previous tank I see no need for the acclimation.

You should test first IMO. I would not start bio pellets until I knew my live nitrates were exceeding a certain level....say 5-10ppm. Personally I might begin a GFO reactor a few weeks after the cycle finished or when I begin to see some algae on a new tank.
Agree on the Tang. As an adult that thing could be half as long as your tank and they grow fast.
