Ok,.. I have a 90 gallon tank and I've decided go with the fishless method. I've thrown three raw shrimps and after 4 days my house is starting to stink up. Is this normal???
 
I just received my live Fiji rock today. There are no fish in the tank just the stinky rotton shrimp. Can I throw the live rock in?
 
I ended up pulling my shrimp out after several days. it doesn't take much to start the amonia cycle. and your live rock should have enough to feed on if your tank is stinking that bad.
