The question is should Jess start adding nutrients to "pre-cycle" the tank before receiving the shipment of rock. The answer to this is no, unless the shipment of rock is a couple of pounds. Anything more than that, and the die off from the rock added will cause a whole new cycle and negate any effect the original "pre-cycle" had.
Wait for your rock, add it to the tank, and the die off from this will fuel the cycle. Once you no longer detect NH3/NO2, you can start adding (lightly) to the bio-load.
