Dead fish smelling LR

[bphelps]

I'm starting to clean 180 pounds of LR to get rid of the green bubble algae.
I already have clean about 20% of it and put it in a 55 tank. I left 4 of
the rocks in a 5 gal bucket w/water and forgot about it for 5 days, PU. Can
I just rinse it really good and add it into the 55 with the rest.
P.S. I got rid of all the Aipitasia first with a Racoon Butterfly, worked
great but now have to get rid of him because he likes to eat my corals.

No, you'll have to cure it again in a bucket with a powerhead and heater.

That is, unless your display tank is devoid of life. Only then could you add it
to your tank and cycle it there.
