Man yes. I have it in a main area of my house too. Sucks but if it's normal and will go away that's perfect. Will it go away after the cycle or would it drag on?
do you still have a raw shrimp in the tank for ammonia source
if you reached the 4ppm for ammonia it can be removed
that may help smell some , once your cycle finishes and you do a decent water change that will help too. once things come together the bad odor will dissipate
we've all been through it sometimes it can be stronger depending on the rock and die off,
