How can anyone not like the smell of the ocean. I think mine does not smell enough.:lol:
Must get a bigger tank.:wink:

What I feed my tank makes an impact on it's bouquet. Too much frozen food and I can smell in my fish room so I feed flake for a couple days and its perfect.

Ya, mine smelled more when I fet Frozen Mysis regularly. Now swapped in some pellet, to mix the diet up, doesnt smell as bad. I really noticed the smell opening the Sump cabinet. Smell just accumulates in there LOL

Remember, you've got 90 gallons of ocean in your basement :)
Running small amounts of activated carbon regularly and making sure you have good ventilation going through your basement will really help

One of the things you might want to consider is the humidity in your basement. The smell you're getting might be from mold. That's a bit of a serious issue as it can cause health problems.
How well is your basement vented. You might want to buy a dehumidifier or some sort of exhaust fan.
