I would go with some more base rock and let become live rock during the cycling process, I would not use granite as it is extremely dense and non porous the lighter and more porous the rock you can find the better as as it has more surface area for the beneficial bateria to thrive

you can check with your lfs or a possibly a landscape supply place, you can often find very porous volcanic rock used for landscaping
