Have you guys noticed the smell of different types of macro algae? For example, I have some in my tank and was cleaning out the excess red dictoya. (I know some people say it’s a horrible invasive pest but I quite like it.) I noticed each time that when taken out of the water it has a distinct smell. (I think I’m a bit sensitive to it as I can smell it in my nostrils for awhile after.) I also remember Chaeto had a distinct smell out of the water too.
The smells not like...putrid rotting smell that you get when stuff is dying on it..this is hard to describe almost like a slight chemical smell. The closest I can liken it to is when I am oil painting with the “odorless” solvents. I don’t know if that helped or made people more confused hehe.
I’m not crazy right? Macro Algae has a smell right?
