I recently got a 10 gallon tank with 2 male ACFs. I got a Tetra Whisper 10-20 gallon filter, the problem is my water is very clear and my whole room where the tank is stinks. I have narrowed down the source of the odor. Well, it's my cartridge. I had activation carbon in it, but I talked to somone online that told me the carbon is what is making it smell. So I took the carbon out a cleaned of my catridge, but I used the same cartrdge because she said to almost never replece your catridge because it has a good bacteria on it. Well, my tank still smells very bad. Did I forget to mention the day this started I did a full water change? I am completly clueless!! I am just a beginner so I'm thinking of just getting a new filter, should I wait? Can you recommend any good filters that this won't happen with? Also I will be upgrading to a 20-55 gallon tank soon so I need to eventually get a filter.
Thanks,
