I would say, as a general rule of thumb, you should *never* allow chlorine to enter your set-up tank. It is just much easier that way at any point of the life of the tank. This way you don't have to worry about recycling your tank or about any mini cycles. And whe you are starting, I would think it would take a *lot* longer to start the cycle if you have chlorine in it to start off with.
