Gross smelling reef tank

[NowGlazeIT]

I think mine might be from frozen pe mysis but it could be like you said, rotting food. It only lasts a few hours

Okay check for dead zones and I hope you find the source soon. So you can go back to enjoying your reef.

When I came home yesterday I noticed my whole room smelt bad from my tank, almost like a dead fish smell. None of my fish were dead only found one snail which was dead and took it out, tested everything and it’s all in check and put a new bag on carbon in, smell went away a few hours later. Came home today and no smell, a few hours go by and now it smells again. I have a dehumidifier running in the room and there’s nothing dead in it. Any ideas to what it could be and how to get rid of it? It’s just a really strong smell that causes my entire room to smell bad.

Thinking about this I remember this happening to me a long time ago, I believe my cure was an Ozone reactor.
