Live rock and seeding dry rock ?

I'm a newbie and was hoping to get some guidance/advice using live rock to seed some key largo dry rock.

1. I plan on doing everything all at once-setting up aquarium with power head, saltwater, live rock and dry rock and letting it cycle, my ? is does the live rock need to be cured before putting it in the new set up for cycling and seeding the dry rock?

2. Should I run my protein skimmer, powerhead and do water changes while it is cycling? Does it require a light source to get the coraline growth and seeding?

3. Does anyone have any experience, knowledge or know where I can get about 10/lbs of Blueridge Bali live rock. I have only scene a pic of this stuff and really love the powder blue on it, so this is the live rock I would like to use.

Any help is much appreciated

 

1. No it will help the cycle along.

2. No need to run the protein skimmer, at the start at least. You could turn it on after a couple of weeks and let it break in as the tank cycles. You could run it though and I've seen arguments for both way. (I did run mine). Powerheads, yes use them. Water changes, no not until after cycle, they will only prolong the cycle. And a light is not needed at all for cycle. You will find though that you want to watch the empty tank, for some reason we all do lol, so you may find you want the light on.

3. Sorry no help here, never heard of it.

Hope that helps.
