New tank setup

If I wanted to setup a tank with no rock or sand and just have frag racks, does it still need to cycle?

What are your plans for biological and mechanical filtration?
 
If you want to put fish in, yes. If it's coral only you can likely get away with it right away.
 
I plan on using filter socks, protein skimmer and a fuge. It would be coral only unless I need more nutrients later on but to begin just coral.
 
You should be fine then. I would put hardy and cheaper corals in at the beginning just in case. They'll prefer an established tank to thrive.
