Default Curing LR does it stink?

I was reading in the conscientious aquarius that LR stinks to high heave when curing. Is that true? I am just about ready to order 40Lbs of uncured Tonga from JL but will be curing in the tank, in my living room. Am I asking for a divorce here???

Anything that is dead on that rock, or dies in curing...is going to stink.

Yes it does stink..smells like sewer I did 60 lbs of rock,but that was downstairs,and since my basement is not finished, it didn't matter.My buddy said if he had to do it again,only in the summer in his garage.He did mention something about his wife killing him ..LOL

A 6 week supply of roses help mask the smell.

super stinky because the organisms that are dead or dying are decaying they also produce ammonia be sure to do lots of water changes
