Well i went to my very reputable lfs....they tested the water, smelled
it and suggested it was an enzyme in the bio-safe that was causing the
odor. As suggested it added more carbon media to my filter and it looks like its doing the job.....
keep your fingers crossed!!!
Ah see the smell isnt ammonia or like that....no rotten egg smell....its just a sharp chemical like smell...unfortunally i dont have the bags of
FloraBase....i do believe its the cause...
Heres the deal:
My 55gln has this strong chemical smell.....the only chemicals i have in this new tank is Marinelands Bio-spira and Bio-safe. I run an Emperor 400 filter w/ xtra lava
rock and fiber floss media. Its a planted tank w/ Flora Base substrate and thats where i think the problem...
