i use reef plus and it does smell but i have never noticed a smell coming form the tank after the use. I grew up on the beach and my reef smells nothing like it lol. My reef doesn't have a smell, the ocean can smell very bad at times depending on the tide.

You should not be doing ANY dosing of any kind until your tank is well established. The point of dosing is to replace minerals that your inhabitants consume faster than your regular water changes can handle.
If your doing proper water changes your tank will get all it needs.

you are doseing and you maybe losing some of the stuff on your rock like good worms do a water change and do not add anything else. Your rock maybe doing a cure that should not be happening. I realy don't know what it is your tank is doing but I am guessing. doing a water change will not hurt anything. I have gotton this sort of smell and it was when something died and I didn't have enough flow in the tank. Flow should not matter in the case of some thing dieing.

Well I posted lastnight that the smell went away I can account for all live stock and coral looking great tested again when I got home today and there same results. The only thing I dose is alk I don't have to add anything else just heard reef plus was good for livestock more color and growth dident think it was anything big I won't dose the vitamins and amino acids till I figure it out but untill u tell me how to keep alkalunity up with out dosing then I can't stop
