    Geez, what beach have you been visiting? Usually the ocean here has a pleasant smell. Even in dirty California waters. When my tank cycled it smelled more like rotten eggs than the ocean.

    I'd recomend that you smell the collection cup on your skimmer. it will help make the other smell not seem so bad!! ;-)

    As a person who grew up with the ocean about four blocks away from my house, I can't imagine you'd want that smell to ever leave!!!!!!

    worst fish stuff I ever smelled.....I had a fire in my old tank, so I had just turned off all the "nonessentials" to keep the tank running until my new one came (had already purchased prior to fire). I was like 2 weeks I guess before the new tank came. I had my chiller off and did not think anything about draining it...well when new tank came I pulled the hose out of the old sump and water came out of the hose and I threw up right there....the water in the sump went bad and produced some type of noxious gass....my house reaked for the longest time of rotten eggs
