First of all, sorry for posting so much... Ok, so I put some old live rock from another tank, into my tank on sunday along with some cured live rock. I haven't done anything else to my tank like the shrimp, but this morning my girl and I woke up and WOW... What a horrible smell... I am assuming that the old live rock that is dead now is beginning to cure in my tank... Am I right or not... If so, should I just let it run it's course or take out the rock... Also there is a white haze all over the inside of my acyrlic... What is this?

The smell means your rock is curing and yes leave it and let it take its course and cycle...the white foam is protien and your skimmer should make this go away in time...also you may skim it yourself

If you see any creatures like sponges on the rock, scrape them off because they are going to die anyway.

Wait, I know it's tough, and when everyting settles, do a massive water change. Wait some more and then add animals when the cycle is over.
