Concerned. Added rock with two part epoxy to a cycling tank.

I have had bad luck recently with adding bad bacteria to a cycling tank and the tank crashed. Before thinking I added some rock work with two part epoxy (reef safe) to the tank but I am scared it will change/kill the good bacteria in the tank. I have been babying this tank and cycling it super slow so it will become strong and healthy but am worried now. In the past my skimmer goes crazy with two part and I don't have a skimmer hooked up. All I could do was add some petco freshwater carbon pads to float around in the water. Will this be ok??? =(

It "should" be totally fine..
Thousands of people have used epoxies without issue.. And if its sold as "reef safe" that "should" be just fine..
