Use Seachem Matrix to seed other tanks?

Is this possible? I bought the 4L bucket of Seachem's Matrix on Black Friday because I got a 1/2 price deal on it with free shipping. My plan was to fill knee-high pantyhose with it, set them behind the Hamburg Mattenfilter in my established 125g tank, 40B, and 29 for a few months while I'm prepping the floor and setting up new tanks later this winter. Then after planting & while cycling the new tanks, put these knee-highs of Matrix in the new tanks behind their Mattenfilters to help establish beneficial bacteria in them.

Does that sound plausible?

Thanks - that's what I'm looking to do - shorten the cycle - and to leave it in all the tanks for additional surface areas for bacteria.
