water fishy smell

Aro2626 · 07-02-2014, 07:55 PM

Bros,

How to remove the fishy smell from the tank water?

I have added charcoal to my sump. But the fishy smell still very strong.

I have washed my hand with detergent and the smell there.

Please advise.

I've done wc most of the time. You also need to wipe the fish tank inside out. Change the cotton wool if dirty.

So many fish. No wonder . Ur filtration must be good else cannot handle . Wc must be a lot. Try 2 packs of active carbon. Will help reduce smell. Not just charcoal. Buy those any packs in a bag. Throw 2-3 packs at a go
