Lower your temp about 5 degrees for the Toby.
SG is pushing it but it's still within the limit.

Hmm, idk why your tank would smell, how does it smell after that water change?

smells even when its in the water, the smell filled up the whole room

do you have any other tanks with fiddler crabs? they crawl out and die and smell nasty... my basement smelled like that for a long time after mine escaped. haha... other than that i dont know
I FOUND THE REASON!!!!! i got a new halide light for my corals and all the algae started uber photosynthesizing and floated to the top and it smells like seaweed on the beach... ill clean that up and smell it in a while and see...
Where did you purchase your "live rock" because if live rock is dead... it gives off a funky smell pull a peice out of your tank and give it a wiff if it stinks you need to cure it and talk to you LFS and give them **** for selling you dead live rock lol
