well there not "good" but it does mean you are cycling the tank. Ammonia may rise more then drop really fast while nitrite rises then drops.

no, its good to add all your live rock in the beginning during the cycle, if not you will need to cure the rock yourself in another tank/tub before it can go in your tank
