I have started up a new tank and have cycled with fish. Everything is good from what I can see. Ph ammonia levels are normal and fish seem to be just fine. I did have a small heater that I believed wasn't enough to heat the tank. I was wrong and the heat shot up. Not to a critical stage but on the cusp about 80 degrees. I did lower it back down but I am curious to why this smell is coming from the tank. Its a 55 gallon tank with 2 30 gallon filters. I beleive that as I lowered teh temp the smell went down, either that or opening the windows did alot of good.
 
How are you readings Ammonia, NitrIte, NitrAte when you say 'normal' what are they?

When was your last water change and at what %
 
Can you describe the smell, a healthy tank should smell earthy peat smell, a deseased tank will smell like rotten eggs or sulphur.
