You will need to buy some cured live rock or borrow some from a friend for a bit. The organisms will populate the rock you currently bought. With the rock you just bought try to clean off all the dead matter, because this will negativly affect your water parameters.

I have a spare tank that I was thinking of putting the rock in. when I put the rock in how hot should I have the heat? I also have a 10G tank with 13 pnds of rock, I could take a couple of pnds out of there to put in the 55G.

Good idea, take the frozen rock and put it into the spare tank. You could run the heat of the tank in the 70's. There will probably be some dieoff due to the fact that the rock as frozen, so by using the spare tank it will not affect your current tanks water parameters. Give it a bit then use some seed rock (rock that currently has organisms growing on it -sounds like you have some in a 10 g tank-). The seed rock will allow for organisms to populate over to the other rocks.

This smells horrible! my house reeks of watery death. I've been changing the water every 2 hours or so to try and keep the smell down.
One quick question: I am circulating with fresh water right now until all the dead stuff falls out of the rock. Is this right or should I be using SW the whole time? The rock is dead I didn't think it would hurt anything! Does it matter if I'm not using a light?
