Stink

[lock77]

Green tinge off water and roots of plants stink, any ideas why?

How often do you water change? What substrate do you have and what plants?

I have cabomba & elodea densa plants. The tanks only been up and running for a bout a fortnight and I done a 10% water change yesterday. Substrate is white sand.

You may find your roots are rotting, common with Cabomba.

Are you running a fishless cycle?

It's a new tank but I half filled it with water from the old tank and am using a filter thats been on the go for about a year.

Sorry I missed the point completely, No I'm not doing a fishless cycle because I was told that plants need fish poop!

You might just find the roots are rotting then it does happen with some stem plants.
