Shrimp-In Cycling Smell

[PaulPaul01]

Hey guys, I'm currently cycling my tank with market shrimp and it smells very bad. I read that the only way to remove the smell is by water change which is, in the saltwater hobby with a bigger tank, pretty expensive. Will the cycle eventually remove the smell? If not, is there anywhere I can get a chemical ammonia source e.g. Ammonium Chloride? Thank you:)

I read that got pple put carbon to remove the smell but this will affect your cycle as there are saying carbon will cause issue to the bacteria grow but can't confirm on this...
