I know that the tank is supposed to smell while its cycling but I want to know why.
This is my second tank
I'm cycling a 25g with 29 lbs BRS reefsaver, 40lbs CaribSea Fiji pink Dry sand, and 10lbs of Ocean Direct Caribbean live sand.
My first tank is a 10g and when I was cycling it, it never smelled.
The tank I'm cycling smells a lot( smells kind of like the ocean to me in a way) but it smelled so bad to my mom that she thought a fish had died and it fills the whole living room.
I'm currently cycling it with some Ace Janitorial 10% ammonia and a little bit of fish food.
So far my ammonia goes down from about 3 ppm to 0 ppm in about 4-5 days.
