You don't absolutly have to have 'seed' material.
All water contains the bacteria that is in the tank, it just has to multiply under ideal conditions I.E. cycling.
You can fishless cycle just by using amonia and maybe a little fish food, or raw shrimp. It just takes a little longer, that's all. It might take as much as six weeks, but it will be done right.

It's all covered in the articles section here.
