Blanket recommendations are not always useful. What really matters is the aquarist's experience, judgement, knowledge, and overall comfort level with reefkeeping. If you've set everything up properly, your equipment is well chosen and meets your needs, you test regularly and find that conditions are stable and optimal, and you see no issues of concern on regular inspection of your livestock and rocks, there is NO reason you can't add a BTA (or two, or ten) very soon (1 month) after setting up a new tank. Also rock flower anemones and mini maxi carpet anemones. However it's probably best overall to wait a while longer before adding full size carpets.
