Water Smelling Weird

[maroonytunes]

For those who use Reef Crystals, does the water normally smell odd, or weird, I don't know how to describe it, but I just started using Reef Crystals and when I used plain Instant Ocean it didn't have this smell. Does it always smell like that, is it normal?

It does have a very "fresh" kinda smell to it if that is what your refering too. I'd describe it as a much sronger smell but similiar to the smell you get when its about to rain outside. Either way I personally haven't had any negative effects from using RC and just switched back to it after trying TM pro coral for a while.

I've known people that use long tubes and let water sit in the tubes from one water change to the next and you can get a very strange sulfur smell if you are doing something like that.

Hope this helps.

LOL thanks rev and im not sure, but the nano is underway and being filled as I type, will be sure to post pictures and start a journal about it when I find the USB cord.

Thanks BKV yea it did smell fresh, and I was a little nervous but it seems to go away after being moved from bucket to cooler to tank.

yea same here... I notice it at first, but after airating for about 30 minutes it goes away as well.
