Im cycling a tank with old live rock and I Feel like I have some die-off? I had an ammonia spike and my sump smells fishy? or like Algae? I did a 15 percent water change, not sure if my flow in my sump is good enough, thinking of adding a powerhead to the fuge area.
 
"old live rock" means...

Is this old live rock that had dried out, was kept wet and had organic stuff on it, was dried and cured...???
 
Die off is to be expected. Test your levels every now and then
