Welcome to Canreef, your tank when it reaches
AMMONIA-0
Nitrites-0
Nitrates-0
then you are ready to put in a clean up crew. your base rock will seed evenually it doesn't happen over night remember, i it depends on the type of BASE ROCK that you have. if you have rock that is pretty much not porous then IMO you wont get it to seed that well. If the rock that you have is very pourous then you are on your way. Rock should be very pourous if you can get it. it allows for many critters to get in the rocks to eat what ever is laying around in there too.
if you can manage to get more Live rock that better for your little tank. I would probably ask around lots of people could let a small piece here and there go for pretty cheap too.
