Update : ugh the live rock from LFS here smells quite bad. It's like sea water + clam smell
Had to leave under the sun for now
Probably in a week will rinse with freshwater and then leave out in the sun again for few days and rinse again before putting into tank to cycle..
waste some time again on this
ugh no patience! no patience! hahaha
Thats the thing about live rock, you never really know how long its been sitting in the LFS. But there's gonna be some die off regardless of how fresh it is. By rinsing it in freshwater and sunning it you kill of the most valuable part of live rock - the myriad of sponges, corals, algaes (coralline algae) and bacteria that may have been inhabiting the rock. Its dead rock now. Had to leave under the sun for now

Have you put the new rock in your system? What are your water parameters after putting them in?
