I got some new SPS frags today, acclimated them to my tank and the smell in there now is horrible!! Is a strong acro funk the sign of something bad or is it normal? When can I expect the stank to go away?
hehehe, I wish it was just that.
No I'm smellin' it in the room, one of the frags came kinda bleached and it had been up against another colony in the dealers tank and there was some tissue death. Do frags on their way out stink more?
if you're concerned, run some carbon. yes, they smell worse when they're dead. My wife gave leaned in to me when I threw away a piece of stag in the kitchen garbage.. the entire house stank after we came home from work.
