You could go to ATR and buy a couple of scoops of LR tank sludge (on the far end in the middle holding tank), put your rocks in a bucket with powerhead and pour in the sludge to seed the rocks. I think you will need to add something, fish and corals alone will not get you the diversity, IMO.
In the past, I have ordered some "GARF Grunge" and mixed it into the DSB of the 75 I had in Cali. Within a month, there was so much life in and around the DSB and LR I could not believe it. GARF obtains this stuff from the bottoms of many LR storage tanks, I have been told even Walt Smith sends it to them. It's pretty fortified with life.
