The question is what else is in the tank? If it is still cycling or if
there is nothing else in there then leave it in there. Also how much cured
LR do you have in there?
You should not have detectable ammonia in your tank if it is cycled &
there is sufficient filtration.
I'd skip the water changes that are a temp cure & give us more details so
that we can figure out why the ammonia is there in the first place.

Would a 1 pound rock in my 29 gallon that isn't cured harm my water
conditions enough to worry about? It had some growth but that has fallen
off
and the rock itself looks like its covered in white rotten looking stuff.

Also I have some ammonia in the tank should I do water changes just like I
would in a fresh water tank or is there something I could add that would
counter act the ammonia?

Thanks
