I am setting up a new aquarium and plan to use cured live rock from my lfs, arag alive and fritzyme 900 turbostart.

Is that bacteria overload? I know some brands recommend not using any other bacteria additives with their product. I cant seem to find any information on what exactly is in the arag alive. I know its not live from the ocean so I'm guessing it shouldn't have any die off? But am I basically double dosing a bacteria additive by doing it this way?

No you are fine. Honestly if you are using cured rock, live sand, and fritz 900 you won't really have to do much of a cycle. You can to a quick test with some aquarium ammonium chloride.
