It's the Pleco food ... I just noticed this last week mine has been having shrimp wafers and the water stinks, so I leave the lid off most of the day and it soon goes,
Yes it smells horrible....AGAIN. im aboit to go to petco and pick up substrate. And then ill just get rid of the play sand. The tank is 35 so ill use that substrate in my upgraded tank when I get it

I picked up new sand lets see how good this will workSand is much cleaner for your tank than gravel, so I don't see changing to gravel as having a positive impact on your problem. Do you stir the sand now and then to prevent gas pockets forming?
I find the NLS h2o wafers and Thera A pellets have quite a strong garlic smell (which I don't mind and can't smell in the tank unless its a hot day) and if they are left uneaten and begin to decay, they smell RANK! I found that out once when I discovered an uneaten wafer under an ornament. That stench was almost fatal!
How is it going the smell gone?
Hey thanks for asking. Its much better!!!
That is great news.
I found my other tanks a bit smelly since I changed food to nls, but the fish prefer that food so I can put up with a whiff
Yes. Lol it also makes the water cloudy...
