How can I lessen the smell of my aquarium? I have 3 kois in it. Any suggestions?
Answers:
Change one third of the water every week and put new activated carbon in the filter every two weeks. That will take care of the smell.
Adding chemicals is never a good idea. It just starts you down a slippery slope to too many variables.
Water changes and fresh carbon are the way to go. You should also be siphoning the gravel every two weeks.
I would suggest adding an ammonia detoxifier because ammonia sometimes really stinks. If that doesn't improve the smell, replace your filter and see what happens then.
