My experience with cooking LR is after only a month, yes it will stink, and alot of crude does come off the rock. As to the coraline dying... well i checked a couple days ago and i still have coraline on the rock and its been cooking for 2.5 months. I do 30% regular water changes every 2 weeks.
I had like 30 dead worms at the bottom of the container as well.
