Sounds like a plan. Basically when you add the fish you are adding more nutrients than your current bacteria can handle. Therefore they need to adjust to the new addition of nutrients. It will take about the same amount of time, perhaps a little bit quicker if your bacteria are quick about it. Generally speaking it takes 4-6 weeks to cycle, but I should say with the initial cycle already completed it shouldn't take that long. I never kept track of mine and how long it took. Just be sure that everything is ok again before you add more fish. You can add cycle or something similar if you want to help it along. Just be aware that ammonia is the number one fish killer so keep an eye on it.
