it sounds like that your in a hurry. take your time adding more rock won't speed it up. it will help you bacterial load thou. IME you should try to get some sand from other tanks in your area. that will help in allowing the sand to become live. As for the rocks you should put a couple of pieces in the tank to help you speed up the cycle. Add some Hagen cycle to your tank to help speed up the cycle too.
