Use dry sand and you can use live rock if you want..
If that live rock is locally sourced you can have little to no cycle and be adding fish/corals in no time..
If you get your live rock shipped from most places then you will likely have a cycle due to the die off from shipping..

"live" does NOT mean it comes with worms or anything as "live" is only about it being colonized with beneficial bacteria.. But there is usually a good chance there is more than just bacteria on it..

But if you go "Dry rock" and plan on corals you will usually get worms/pods,etc.. that come in on the corals..
