Probably die off from the rock. Mail order?

Did you add all of these at once? You are going through a cycle most likely. In order to save the tang you need to take it out or it will die from ammonia/nitrite.

I add the rock third. about 3 days ago.

any pics? What lights are you planning on running?

Smell is prob the cycle, shouldn't smell too bad unless you got a ton of dead rock. Did you clean the rock at all before putting it in? I know when I ordered mine from marine depot it was filthy. I scrubbed the heck out of it before putting it in..
