seafood smell

[Chin_Lee]

don't worry .... her olfactory nerves will get acustom to it sooner or later.,,, my wife had the same complaint..... not any more but carbon does help

i havent tried carbon on top of the skimmer, i just put fresh carbon in the sump 3 days ago. i was replacing it every month but was just told to replace it every 2 weeks. i hope she gets used to it quick chin, or i may have to live at your place.

Have you tryed shutting down your fans for a couple of days to see if it goes away

[skylord]

Is there anyway you can add a vent to the outside with an exhaust fan?

Just leave a dead fish in the corner of the room for a few days and when you get rid of it.......... voila the problem is gone!

Ask her if it's a dead fish smell or a salt water smell. If it's just the salt water/ocean smell that's a good thing... if it's a dead fish smell.. well that's not so good.

so today i did shut down my fans for a couple hours and she could still smell it but not as bad only when she got to the tank. but the fans are essential because the temp climbs too high. we just talked today about our options of venting outside, so i'm going to look into some ideas there. all around it would be good to vent it outside not only for smell but for humidity as well. i still think the smell is coming from the skimmer cup so i'm going to think of a way to mount carbon to the top to try and absorb some of the smell.
