I got some purigen for all my tanks, now I just need a bag with smaller holes. My parents decided on new carpet so thats good except for the fact that my tank will need to be broken down so they can put it in.
as a temp fix you can always use vanilla or an Onion. I know Onion seems to be an odd air freshner but it does an amazing job at absorbing oders. We painted a room once the the smell wouldn't go away and when we put an onion in there it went away. Try Onions cut in half first. For the quick fix.
When you get the carpets up check there is no mold under the carpet check the back and underside of tank stands if they are wooden clean them with a very dilute bleach solution (if mold is on them)then let them dry this will kill it off. Then learn for your mistakes when doing water changes etc get a throw over cover used by painter and decorators available for the DIY store and put that down when servicing also a nice plastic bowl for washing up to stand filters in. Then if it’s the tanks that smell go down the carbon road.
