Cycling question (weird situation not misunderstanding)

[AJ192]

Hello all, and thx for the help in advance. I have a very weird situation due to a trip coming up fairly soon and a clay tile pipe collapsing. So I’ll start off with a little background. I don’t have space to finish my aquascape for my 200 gallon system since I had to move a lot of things to fix the pipe. I’m planning to order about 20-30 pounds of live rock and I have about 400 gallons worth of marine pure blocks.

My main question is would just adding the live rock and the bio media be enough to cycle the tank without it being screwed up? I will be adding the scape and sand about 2 weeks after I start cycling. I know not waiting is a little impatient but I’ve been waiting 6 months to get my tank cycling.
