Our tank overnight smells strongly of pond and there is a foam on top of the water. The tank was great two days ago, we checked PH, nitrates etc..What could be the problem? Thank you |

search around the bottom for a dead fish..... could be a protein slick thats foaming..... make sure nobody added anything (kids) to the water.. jT |

How'sd the bottom of the FT? I had exactly that happen, (foam out of nowhere and the slightly rank smell) and the bottom of my FT had a layer of black crud on it. I cleaned that out and the only time I've seen anything like it again was after a heavy storm I got a lot of small persistent bubbles. They went away within a few hours. |
