Cycling Rock Question

Hello I have some dry rock that has been cycling in a separate container. I plan to put it in a 90 gallon that currently has 10 pounds of live rock and 2 clown fish. When can I add it to the tank? Once the ammonia and nitrite is 0 or just when the ammonia is zero since its going into another tank?

The ammonia has went down to zero twice and i brought it back up. However, nitrites has not been decreasing yet
 
Both ammonia and nitrites need to be at zero before you can safely add it to your tank. What did you use as an ammonia source to cycle the new rock?
