Best way to remove a horrible fishy smell

[HorrorShowRot]

Allrighty I just got a used tank off kijiji. Anyways it smells pretty bad. I think its the rocks what should I use to neutralize the smell. Going to get new substrate but will be a bit. And plus the smell will still be there a bit when I remove the rocks. Any optionsxD

Also what would be the best cleaner for it. I usually use white vinegar and water. And has worked amazingly any other options cuz the room will smell well vinergary if thats a word.

I used lemon juice and very hot water to clean my old tank. It did a really good job for me, and it was pleasant smelling!

The vinegary smell usually goes away very quickly though!

I agree with all the options mentioned.

Probably just rotting food in the substrate. Washing it out in dechlorintored water should do the trick.

a good gravel vac might help.

I've used vinegar and water too. You can also scrub stuff with plain water and a brush.
