How long after adding nitrifying bacteria to a tank can you do a water change without risking sucking out the newly added bacteria?

the bacteria is mostly in substrate, filters, decor ect.....there is very little in the actual water...... so as long as you dont do a really good vaccume and a media change all at the same time i would say a day or to......and as long as you are not adding a massive amount more bioload everything should be fine
