This is what the OP said today.
"No I just put the bleached rocks into old saltwater tank. I have no more LR in my tank. I didn't put raw shrimp, as thoses rocks are leaching ammonia..."
Obviously, you did missed something or did I?
Sorry, I mean I've put the bleached rocks in a 5g bucket with a powerhead then added old tank saltwater...
The tank is still cycled even if I removed the 20 pounds of LR... I feed my fishs as I would do normally, and I feed my corals once a week. No NH3 or NO2 spikes... So I don't think I need to put thoses rocks back to the tank...
But the tank look so much UGLY like that... And the clowns doesn't have a home anymode (hiding places)If you insist that the tank has enough bacteria then you simply mean that you do not need the rocks back in the tank.

After
So my questions was should I wait for the complete mix of BB on the rocks, or should I just rinse the rocks until ammonia read zero...
Cycled seems to have started, nitrites were 0ppm there's two days, yesterday it was between 0 and 0.25, today it's between 0.25 - 0.5ppm... It just started as I raised the bucket water from 21C° to 28.5C° and added 1/4 cup of my live sand...
