Yeah I would be ****ed also! Anyways I'm just going to try to seed the rock again. Don't know if it will work but if it does I will save alot of money. In the SW hobby you can spend alot! All I can do is try eh!

It's been 3 days now and I've changed the water 4 or 5 times. The smell is not near as bad as it was at first. Plus I moved the rock in to a rubbermaid container. I hate apartments I wish I had a garage for this stench!
Anyways going to do one more water change then add some live rock from my 10G tank.

Assuming you've done this by now, but if you're trying to reseed the rock, you would want to do that in salt water. If you're trying to clean it, well, there are a number of ways to do that.
