Will carbon get rid of the rotten egg smell?

[wolfsburgfanatic]

If not , have some "Scented SCRUBBIES" I can sell him...
sorry I couldn't help myself...
It was that, or a large "DARWIN Award" image...

something like this you mean...

No offense OP, just kidding around. but definately get ready for for large & frequent water changes for at least a couple days imo. Carbon is a good idea as well. Just make sure when changing that much water not to let the temp flucuate too much and use a good dechlorinator. Hope everything works out

I thought this one was funny.....On another note I hope you get your tanked fixed up!

 

[zennzzo]

yup and yup!!
The OP has to be good with a little brotherly ribbing...

Can you imagine what his LFS was going to sell him to FIX this mess??!?
...can you say Cha-Ching!!

 

[zennzzo]

So what are the green ones "Minty Fresh" and the "Lemon scented" are yellow?

Suppose the reds have a festive potpourri aroma

actually a festive cinnamon potpourri aroma

 

[Err]

1) clean that filter out! 2) you cant kill fish with WC's as long as you use decholrinator and clean water. 3) do a 50% every few hrs untill you have done at least 200% + to get all that raunchy stank juice out of your tank.
Good luck!

I was...

But it had an effect on me...

Ya know it's possible,
and it happens from time to time,
but I still don't wanna believe it!

Ya, thanks for the input. I get it, I ****ed up. Quite honestly, I don't know how the rena got fixed, I just turned it on and it was working suddenly. I didn't clean it out because I didn't do anything to fix it. I probably should have turned it off right away. The smell has lessened, but is still somewhat there when I smell the water. I will do another water change and clean the filter this weekend. Oh! And the water cleared up! It was cloudy, but is almost crystal clear now. The fish are fine, and there is tons of circulation in the water right now. I have 2 filters running and a seeded sponge filter attached to my powerhead.
