Run carbon, do small daily water changes, and light a candle! The smell will go away eventually, but you will have to live through it for a day or two. If you have a skimmer run it wet! I sympathize with the smell, I've been there and it sucks!

Okay, I just adjusted the skimmer and I'm running wet. My wife was already on the candle idea, although I might not have to smell it much longer as she might kick my but out of the house it's smelling so bad!

BTW, do not burn a "scented" candle....

Naturally scented beeswax candle seem to be quite effective!
