carbon helps a lot. if there's nothing else but the liverock in the tank this is one of the few situations where it's ok to run LOTS of carbon actively. Fill an AC70 with carbon and the smell will go away in 24 hours maybe? When the rock's done cycling throttle back the carbon and do a significant water change to replenish all the other stuff the carbon removed.
