@Guppysnail I def have some room to put more water in, I just kept it lower to keep snails from wandering but sounds like I need a lid anyways. I’ll try that!
@Bobbie yeah i used an old stock pot we don’t use often - I rinsed it out prior but that’s it. So I guess it could be a factor
@eatyourpeasno candles or oils, we don’t do really scented stuff at all in our house and the tank is upstairs in a bedroom, so it’s away from the kitchen. If I wanted to rule this out, what would I do? Would I have to scrub the whole tank down and start my cycle all over again?
