Does cycling an aquarium with Brightwell Start XLM and Caribsea Life Rocks cause any Problems?

Hello Fellow reefers,

Has anyone used the Brightwell Start XLM bacteria to cycle their aquarium while having new Caribsea Life rocks in the aquarium? This aquarium is running with Caribsea dry sand and Caribsea Life rocks. I have been reading the label on the Brightwell Start XLM stating "Dry seeded artificial Live rock" until your aquarium is cycle. Looking at Caribsea website that note that this rock has Bacteria.
My question is can you use Brightwell Start XLM with Caribsea Life rocks in the tank?

This cycling will be fishless with the usage of Dr Tim Ammonia.

I’ve never heard of a problem. Sounds like a good plan to me.

I used a combo of bottle bacs to get my tank cycled xlm was one of them never had a issue just be sure to give the bac a food source ie ammonia ghost feed

Thank you all, I heard back from Brightwell, they don't recommend using the Start XLM with the Caribsea Life Rock since this is not previously used but new rocks. They recommend Marco rocks or existing live rocks.
