either way, dead rock is dead rock......if it didnt have any dried on algae or other such "once alive critters" on it then the rock will not have much of anything to kick start the cycle.....I would consider using one of the bio-boost products like prodibio to help your rock establish the beneficial bacteria.....with an all dry rock start you will need to be super cautious about adding your livestock to avoid any problems....patience will be key
