Could be lots of reasons, too many variables. Improperly set, could have forgotten a part? New tank or plumbing could still have factory oils on them? If it's a new house you just moved in to, did you have the house cleaned, carpets washed? Any renos recently done?

Like I said... too many variables.

Probably bingo! Best you can do is rinse everything with water/vinegar solution. Remember to keep cleaning products away from our tanks. Also wouldnt hurt to air out the house. Good luck.
