is it the water that smells? take a cupful to a room that doesn't smell and smell it.

Honestly I don't think it's the water. When I get close I can't smell anything. And when I'm crouching under the stand I can't smell anything, but when I stand up I can smell it

could the fish be stuck somewhere in your canopy, rotting.

sounds like the fish is rotting somewhere in the tank, do you have any AMQUEL or AMMO-LOCK?

No what's that gonna do

it will lock up the amonnia and prevent it from harming your system until it can be removed via skimming, water changes, etc.
i keep a small bottle on hand at all times for just such an emergency.

Do. You run a dehumidifier? My. Basement. Got lots of funny smells with the tank down there last year. I do not have a dehumidifier but leave the windows down there open and it only smells once in a while. No smells in winter.

no, i just keep the windows open and the smell goes away.

overnight the humidity in my house gets to 70%... during the day while the windows are open its around 50%
