Have a 20 gallon tank and am doing a fish-in cycle. I'm about 2 weeks into it.
I have 4 red-eye tetra, 4 Cory, a Betta, and a common pleco. I have a large in the tank filter, an air pump, heater, gravel, etc.
Doing a daily water change (due to the cycle) of approximately 40-50% and using PRIME. I also vacuum the gravel while doing this. Also, I am careful NOT to overfeed.
All this yet my tank smells pretty bad.
Any ideas?
Also, as a side question: would it hurt to use a little extra PRIME ( like 1 1/2 dose)?
