Nothing is dead. Did a water change last week. My skimmer was out of commission for 2 weeks (prazi-pro) Its now running great but smells baaaaad. The sump has always had a slight oder but yesterday it became very noticeable even from across the room. I also just rearranged rock, added anemone and some coral.
I’m running a small 6” fan to maintain the water temp. I’m getting a second fan tomorrow . I’m also replacing the chemi-pure-elite bag today. And I added a powerhead to the bottom of the sock/skimmer level to increase flow. Also just cleaned out the skim cup.
Anything else I could do to keep the smell away? Could this just be the skimmer breaking back in?
29 gallon tank. 15 galons of water in sump/refugium
Temp 77.5-79.5
Salinity 1.026
Ammonia 0.25
Nitrate 0
PH 8.2
