phlynamjax June 4, 2021 Share June 4, 2021 I have this sweet, but very unpleasant odor coming from my established 120g aquarium that fills up the room. I have been doing large bi-weekly water changes. I also run 2 cups of GAC in the reactor that I replace bi-weekly. However, I cannot seem to get rid of this smell. Any thoughts?

lowsingle June 5, 2021 Share June 5, 2021 Is it coming from your protein skimmer ? Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlynamjax June 5, 2021 Author Share June 5, 2021 Its not. The smell is still there after I clean out the skimmer cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJMasta June 6, 2021 Share June 6, 2021 And you're sure it's not any additives or test kit solutions that have spilled? Are there any corals that are particularly pissed off looking? Maybe it's a result of something excreting something in the tank. Other than the tank smelling like something that was in the air previously (and most concentrated in the skimmate), I can't say I've smelled something similar from a tank of mine.

ReefAddict June 14, 2021 Share June 14, 2021 Hard to tell, but whenever I’m trimming SPS there is definitely a smell I would describe as sweet and unpleasant. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami July 5, 2021 Share July 5, 2021 @ReefAddict Did you ever figure this out? Something wasn't generating ozone (like a spark), was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
