Rocks are looking clear and replaced 10 micron sock with a normal one and no sign of browning. The smell has completely gone as well. All corals are doing really well. For everyone's enjoyment here are a couple of pics of the dead uns being eaten by bacteria Well I hope I managed to upload them!
I'd wait a little more before making that declaration. My tank was dyno free (my thought and my mistake). I was adding Pods and Phyto daily for another week. Then a week later I noticed two small bubbles on one of my rocks (135g tank, so imagine how hard I looked for any at all bubbles). 2 more weeks pass and dynos are back.

Not trying to discourage you or say you are not dyno free, just keep doing what you were doing, don't stop like I did.
