Default Live rock cooking help

I have some rock that I have been cooking in a tub for 8 weeks now. Every week the nitrate is 15 when I test before the w/c. There is nothing coming off of or out of the rocks as far as detrius.

Should I just keep going? Will this eventually stop? Is it possible that the bacteria in the rock that deals with nitrate is gone? Would I be better off not doing the w/c to let the bacteria that feed off nitrate rebuild if that is the case?
