reef smell

Who enjoys that marine reef smell? I love it. Same smell as when you walk into a legit reef store. I’m not talking about protein skimmer smell. Just that distinct marine tank smell.

Ok so I could be wrong, but whenever I think of the smell of a Reef tank, all I can think of is the smell of algae and dirty salt. Now, it may just be that my nose is broken lol

Have to agree with you, love it aswell

People say my basement smells like the ocean in a good way and sometimes it smells likes an estuary at low tide when I clean stuff.

Just an fyi chemistry break…

nearly any reef smell is from organic molecules of some sort. Ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are the only exceptions I can think of that we encounter. :)

I have to admit that my tank normally has no smell at all.

If it did my wife would ask me to fix it.

I have never really noticed an ocean smell but I live on the coast so everything smells like ocean I suppose
