Everyone has good points,

Though my understanding from Adding LR to Dry rock would be to add the benefical bacteria for to reduce your cycle time. That being said the more LR you add the better and the faster your cycle will be done. As greg suggested if you add 1/10th LR to Dry your cycle will take longer as if you were to add 50-50.

I added about 25 lbs of Dry base rock and about 30-40lbs of LR and I didn't even see a cycle in my 65G.

As for adding Coral / Fish / Clean up crew. You should wait until after your cycle. Some choose to add the clean up crew during it's really your choice I myself would suggest after. As for adding fish and Coral to your system after your cycle do as you normally would. New fish every 1-2 week as suggested I'm sure would be fine.
