Welcome to the site.
I'm not sure what your talking about with the first question.
But the answer to the second,is NO.Live rock is not required for a fish only tank.But it is recommended.

Re: live rock for fish only

The size of the PS will depend greatly on your bio load. as a general rule get a PS that is rated for at least 1 1/2 times the tank size or more. hope this helps
