we have 3 tanks at our house; a 10, tall 20, and a 30 that we just got recently. We keep everything super clean and healthy and have had succesful tanks until the other day. We set up the 30, completely clean, new filter and all. filled it with our tap which we have used before with no problems.. it STUNK BAD like rotten eggs/dead fish smell... we had put in 4 small cichlids, and they died a day later, (probably from the smell!) it got gradually better after 2 days of no fish and running the new filter.
we decided to change our whole 20 gallon also.. now it has nice goldfish who are happy n healthy, but now the smell is THERE too!!! its bad! we tested with drops and everything is fine but the pH..
now today, our 10 gallon is the same... stinks!! what in the world could be the cause of all three which were nice clean happy tanks before!!!??? only the pH seems off.. what is up?? there are no fish in the 30 or the 10... thanks!
