Default Smelly water

Bro bro pro pro,

How to get rid of smelly smell from the water tank in the room?

I put in charcoal but still smelly.

I am feeding MP to my 7 aros.

Please advise.

7 aros? A single canister will not be enough. Even if you use the 2260.
Add a multiple tray OHF or a second large capacity canister. eg Fluval Fx5 or eheim 2260
