Hi, in my QT when I was changing the water today I noticed for the first time a very foul odor coming from it (it smelt like rotting mussels or clams) I've never noticed this before and have no clue why it would smell so bad, (it made ME gag and I'm usually VERY tollerant of odors as I'm a country guy). If it could make a difference I was using a Pro Balance 7 Day Betta Block (However the water was clear so It didn't cloud it or anything). :-?
