No prob.
And cycling the tank means is about the ammonia-nitrogen cycle. New tanks that are just established don't have nitro bacteria colonized in the tank yet, so if you add fish right away, they usually will die in a short time because fish produce a lot of ammonia that eventually poison the fish.
What should happen is nitro bacterias (diff ones) take the ammonia, convert it to nitrite (just as dangerous), then another group take the nitrite, and finallly convert it to nitrate (alot less dangerous) but can still harm fish and inverts if it builds up too much as the final break down product. Some aquarists go even further by using another type of bacteria that usually live in oxygen poor environment that can convert the nitrates directly into nitrogen gas. Kinda complicated for me; i just do water changes once a week, and use the old water for my plants in the garden.
