smelly tank

cant figure this one out, all of a sudden my tank started smelling real bay ish only at night to it started when the temp started to warm up iam in upstate NY it is real strong i feel like iam in the bay any ideas whats going on all my perimeters are good i threw a couple of chemi pures in the sump maybe a 20 gal or so water change any ideas?

 

i have no idea, buy mine started to smell a little as well.

 

Run some activated carbon for a couple days it should help with the stench8)

 

sure its your tank and not the NY bay area ?

 

How long has your tank been set up for? I'm thinking if you just set up your tank with uncured live rock, that could be the problem. But if your tank has been set up for awhile, I would do what mattgeezer said and run some carbon. Do you have a skimmer? Make sure that didn't overflow.

 

about a cup of carbon per 55 gallons water should fix it.

 

As everyone has stated run some carbon - I run it 24/7 i really dont understand why some people dont as it does so much for your tank.
Ozone would also help if th eproblem continues to exist

 

i live in upstate ny ,nearest bay is about 100 miles away sorry wildreef, but i have been to the ny city bays and that is a whole different smell if my tank smelled like that (goodbye tank)i put a new chemi pure in tues night i always run a couple of them in my sump anyway just got off the road thurs night seem better maybe just something weird.

 

Is how I know time to change out carbon in sump.

My wife has a super-sensitive nose and lets me know the living room is starting to smell like low tide. :-[

New carbon...smell disappears in couple of hours.
