When I had a leak on my bulkhead for the CL, I ended up ripping out everything and placing them in rubbermaid city for 3 weeks. I had the same issue with my rock, ended up putting some more powerheads in there, and a skimmer. If anything, it took care of some unwanted pests I had on the rock, so when it went back into the main tank...life was good. The smell sucks, but if you vent the room, it should be okay.
