Man, every time lately I walk in my bedroom it just stinks. My 55 gallon sits on my dresser and I thought maybe the carpet under the dresser had begun to mold after running the tank over a couple weeks ago.

I break this whole tank down, drag it to my living room and set it up on a stand there. Wash the gravel, scrub the tank and filters and worked my tail off.

Walk back in my bedroom and TaDa........still stinks. The stink was from the little dinky sponge filter I had running in the 5 gallon trying to raise baby neon tetra's.

I could have moved a half ounce sponge filter instead of a 55 gallon tank?

You had it easy hobbs. I'm probably going to have to temporarily move all my tanks in my room, tear up the carpet, and put down tile or vinyl. :help:
