New tank smell??

[Parasite1971]

Hello all,
I have had two tanks in the past (58 gallon and 120 gallon) but have never experienced this before. I set this up on Saturday and by that night I have a musty/salty smell all through the house. I just do not remember this with my other tanks. Is this a thing??

That’s normal, depending on the type of rock your using it can go from mild to awful smelling the first week or two.. carbon can help to reduce it.

Sorry, forgot to give the info.... Dry rock, live sand. I have not added the Fritz 900 yet.

Thanks!
