new system need help water smell with lr

[mark]

The smell is normal for new LR curing, the cloudiness I'm wondering on that. How cloudy, did you add sand also?

Either way keep the pumps, heater and skimmer going.

use a larger than normal ammount of carbon? Like fill an aquaclear 70 or something of the likes with carbon if it's REALLY bad (had to do that once).

Seachem Stability actually does a good job of knocking the smell down.

Adding a skimmer at this point knocks the smell down as well. Also think it would speed up the curing as there is less gunk in the water.
