That's the number of weeks it would take to make sure there is no ich in the tank

Yes it would start a cycle over again but if you have to wait 8 weeks to get rid of ich anyway, cycling would take less time
Leah I meant just that, if you use a bleach/water solution to clean the tank and filters then it would kill any possible pathogens and chlorine dissipates in a few days making the tank habitable again.
