bigger tank

[amanda23]

U could try scrubbing it with vinegar... but then the vinegar will probably smell

but then u would have to redo your tank and restart the environment the fish get strrssed and die

I asked you before if you took the fish tank down and you said yes. I'm pretty sure everyone thinks you have no fish now.

So the fish tank is setup still? If so, putting carbon in the filter can help with the smell like previously said

thank u for actualy ansering a question do u know how to get rid of a smell in my tank

If the tank is properly stocked and maintained, there won't be a smell.

Are you putting your fish back in the tank? I assume if you boiled everything (gravel, decor and such) then you may have killed off a fair amount of bb. Are you using the same filter media? You may experience a mini cycle from the cleaning if your tank was previously cycled. Is the smell in the filter media itself? Do you clean it in old tank water regularly?

Not if you keep the bacteria alive. If you kept the bb on the bio media in water, you could do any maintenance you want to the tank and it would be ok.
