How long does it take for the rock to stop smelling with a good skimmer? CPR BackPack.
 
Once ammonia levels drop, the smell should subside. You can manually remove much of the dead matter, and do water changes, to speed up the process (and retain more life).
 
Also get a box of arm and hammer baking soda get it a bit damp and set next to the tank. That will help eat some of the stink.
