Has anyone ever tryed to use the s**t from the neck of the cup as fertilizer on a plant .Maybe mix it with some fresh water and water the plants because kelp fertilizer would have some kind of salt in it. Just a thought

I would prefer not to have "s**t" stains in my plants, as nice as the growth might be it's not worth having the cats dig in it and then come lay across my face while I'm sleeping.

You could try some activated carbon in your sump. Its supposed to remove odors.

the skimmer does stink, thats another issue
its mainly the ocean smell thats annoying me.

Well as long as everything is immersed in water there shouldn't be any smell coming from the tank. The "smell of the ocean" isn't actually the ocean itself (unless its salty smell), its ocean critters decaying.

I use an IQ air, perfect 16 works great to remove the smell.

Oh I have noticed in the last few days that my house smells like simmer and its not a nice smell, I figure its just the humidity and heat.

I will have to try the baking soda.

the smell? what smell?

No smell on both of my aquariums unless I remove some of the water and expose my coral and live rock to air and even then it is not very strong smell.
