I dont think a reading of 5 on a 2 month old tank is that bad]'
If you are going to add 50 lbs of Live Rock yoiu want to cure it over, preferably in the dark to shed as much organics as you can, (search cooking live rock)
If its been tanked locally and you bring it home wet you may not have a big spike in Nitrogen compounds but you will go thru another algae cycle
You could use the fluval as a sponge carbon filter before a water change and blow the LR off with a powerhead or baster and trap as much crud as possible, but clean it after, DONT let it sit around any length of time or you will get elevated nitrates , etc
