1. yeh u should use live rock, about 5 lbs if you don't have a sump
2. Live sand would be best, but not necessary
3. lighting should be fine
4. no experience with cheato

best o luck

if its just a frag tank hook it up to your display tank so you can have it bare bones with just a light a good powerhead, heater, and thats all.

I would not go with live sand in a frag tank. A frag tank requires high flow to prevent infections and sand will cause problems by blowing all over the tank. A few pounds of live rock will do along with some carbon.
