Stinky Sump!

[MizTanks]

My sump area stinks! Yuck! Any way to cut down the offending oder? Does your sump stink too? :)

[Sir Patrick]

My skimmer stinks, thats in my sump.

I have seen a few stinky sumps. I have found over harvesting Cheato, and not letting it get too thick, helps keep the smell down.

Do you vacuum it, periodically?

[MizTanks]

Haven't vacuumed it yet. Waiting on getting the right tool. I do keep my skimmer cup clean. I've got very slow growing chaeto, it's the very dark green thick wirey kind :)

You can put some carbon in a panty hose and hang it in your cabinet. Should knock the smell down.works for us

[Sir Patrick]

Going to try that one Chuck

I run carbon 24/7. Sumps can get smelly if lots of detritus build up. But carbon should help a lot.

Got a sheet of Carbon filter and stuck it in there :)
