I've had incredible success with base rock. I've used the Caribsea Base Rock, and to get it seeded, I through it in a pail with some tank water from the LFS and some ATM Colony for two weeks. Has worked great on several occassions!

As far as coralline, I suggest taking a small piece of rock that is covered, and cut some off and crush it up, and just dump it into the tank.

My current tank is 100% dry Marco rock, I cured it for 3 months in a Bin. To seed it I placed a sponge in previous tank for a while then put in bin with dry rock.
There are alot of people who will argue that live rock is better as you gave more biodiversity but tgat being said also includes pest
I have yet to see hydroids, many are or aptasia in my current tank and the culture seems to be great.

You can also buy pods to take up residence in your dry rock

I would and have my 10 ft tank totally setup with dry rock.1st seeded by skimmer gunk then it's easily seeded by adding what ever you want and as diverse as you needed by coral frags to colonies to live sand or rock from a trusted source...
not to mention the price difference between dry and wet rock...
