SRC Member Reefbum Posted January 24, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 24, 2005 Be better if you have a biological filter and a lot of water changes before the smell really go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member junyong84 Posted January 24, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 24, 2005 IMO, the smell will take rather long time to go away. best if u can change e water and place it near a ventilation place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
