Strange Smell.......

Post by Texas » Thu May 14, 2009 5:49 pm

A strange odor is issuing from my crabitat. It is sharp and sour, nothing like the fishy scent of a dead crab( although I have never smelled it before, so I wouldn't know really). I just changed the crabs sand and used saltwater to moisten it. I also put their large saltwater pool back in (something I haven't done in a while), and added a piece of coral and a new climber. Other than that nothings changed. Anybody know what this smell could be? Is it dead crab? :cry: :cry: :cry: ?

My tank constantly exudes a similar smell... It is almost tropical, though not pleasant.
