RE: [GSAS-Member] Sulfur Smell?

["matt kaufman" <igotadose@hotmail.com>]

Two possiblities I can think of:
1) when the substrate in the tank gets really, really anaerobic, you'll get 
hydrogen sulfide bubbles when the substrate's disturbed, from the decaying 
organic matter. Nasty smelling stuff. Probably not good for fish. Have you 
uprooted any plants. Have the fish uprooted any plants? Any 
decorations/rocks/driftwood moved?
2) You said the smell came from behind the tank. Could anything have fallen 
back there and gotten damp/moldy?
3) The smell's coming from something else in the room. Time to catch up with 
that laundry? :-)
