weird smells coming from my tank
 wow...i don't know how to describe this, but i'll do my best : 
yesterday i walked into my room and there was a "coffee/mold" smell coming from my tank 
has this ever happened to anyone? or is this just a bacteria bloom that i've heard nothing about...
any help will be greatly appreciated 
Kevin

Re: weird smells coming from my tank

When was the last time you did a water change or cleaned your filter? |

Re: weird smells coming from my tank
i just set up my tank like a week and a half ago...and was told that i shouldnt do any water changes when the water gets cloudy, b/c that was just a bacteria bloom...did ur tank ever smell weird when you first set it up?

Re: weird smells coming from my tank
Is this your first experience with a tank? or do you have/have had other tanks?
I only ask because I do find that a tank has a specific smell to it no matter what... Just seeing if you're not used to it.
