Is your CO2 from a yeast bottle? Cause it sounds like your tank is full of yeast by-product, which is foamy and smells gross.

hopefully there were no fish in the tank. If it's any consolation, the bottle could have exploded all over your room (walls, ceiling, everything).

If you plan to keep plants for a while, I highly recommend investing in compressed CO2.
 
yeah it was the CO2 that broke, the pump was just spitting rotting stuff into the tank and that smelled nasty, but luckely there were no fish there.
