if you have a bad smell in the tank usually that is algae or something rotting if you have lots of gravel be sure to siphon way down with a big siphon, none of these little 10g hoses they market as usual, what it comes down to is how often do you do partial water changes? carbon harming fish is...

carbon can remove other things like chlorine from tap water in a tank with a good amount of fish I would always use carbon if you have a tank with live plants u can make choices but what it really comes down to is how often do you change your water? if less than every two weeks, use a carbon...

normally you would not use acrylic for that big a tank I think you should not make your own tank if you want one that big I hope you live in a house, as well
