Can also be airflow in the house, but I'll agree that carbon is helpful
I find my office, where my sump is, has a strong salty smell until I air the room out

Temp is stable as I have a controller and chiller. I do feed frozen food and maybe I am feeding too heavy. I stopped using carbon as I found my corals didn't seem to like it too much, but I guess I will try it again. Anyone know if not getting the detritus off the rocks would make it smell. I am just lazy and my blenny likes all the algae.

I gotta say it's probably the lack of carbon use
It removes all kinds of organics Carbon is used in lots of air quality filters Go back to using it in the proper amount and you probably will find the smell goes away

You say you stopped using carbon due to your corals ...
Is it possible you were using too much, or your method was allowing it to get into your DT ? Carbon getting past your method can cause all kinds of issues in your tank  Just trying to help Check out the BRS calculator thingy for how much to use ...  Select the Carbon Calculator, enter your water volume, select your kind of carbon and click 'Calculate' Keep in mind one thing .... I have a 75g with a 50g sump (total 125g potential water), but I only have 110g of total water in my system Keep this in mind when you calculate your system volume
