Umm...it took five days? I would expect some die off...I would test the am again, have the lfs test the water too (better safe than sorry).
How long has the rock been in the water? It'll take a couple of days for it to show up.

smart, it might be okay to add a small piece that's not cured, but not that much. Keep a powerhead on the rock and keep an eye on the water, this way as much stuff as possible can live on it. If you see any creatures, you might want to move them now, in case they don't make it.
