It's fine to have a good start and then keep adding.....make sure that you have a well cycled tank as your good start though. I don't mean to question your ways but I hope you don't plan on the cycle being instant because of the live sand (if it was recently bought at the store as "live") It won't work to cycle your tank. What size biowheels you running?

Unless you continually feed that seed bacteria you added with ammonia, it will die off quickly.
