They came with my fiji 30 sump. It's a good sump so far.

Smell most likely coming from skimmer.
Mine smells awful most of the time.
Looking at that sump it looks immaculate compared to mine and mine doesn't smell but like the ocean.

Yep.
I have 4 tanks downstairs in one room so I just close the door to the whole room lol and I'm done.
My sump is also outside my stand and I've noticed over the years that helps the smell.
When I had my sump in my stand years ago I had a fan on a timer to keep that area well ventilated and the stink bomb seemed a bit better.
