What are your water parameters? It sounds as if your tank is going through a cycle stage after three months which is odd... Whats the tank temp at also? Are you dosing with anything?
Gotta give more details.

I dont think your live rock is "Dying". If you have only done a single 10 gallon water change in a 90 gallon tank the water is probably pretty foul from fish waste etc, and could do with a large water change or 2.
As for the browning rocks, probably an algae outbreak. Water changes should help this too.

The rock looks like a black sponge it just looks gross. We went to 3 diffrent fish stores and was told our live rock maybe dying. The nitrate level are a bit high in the tank as well there were only 3fish in the tank at the time we did our water change there are now 4 fish in the tank u think another water chamge will help

Can you describe the smell? Does it smell like low tide? Rotten eggs? Musky/wet dog smell?

Lol. no after our water change we added another fish.
-Scuba steve the tank smells like a very nasty musky smell. sometimes its got a really bad rotten egg smell.. we put carbon in the tank to hopefully help get rid of the smell or at least make it go away a little bit. we were thinking of buying 5 gallon jugs of water from store and doing another 15 gallon water change to see if maybe that will help.
