calcium carbonate sand???

Smell??? Even fine PFS I vacuum. My kuhlis & corys don't dig much at all...TMS, black or white, is like $20 for 20lbs at the "marts". Pool sand ~$10 for 50lbs. Peace River & Eco ~$20/15lbs. Do you have carbon, it'll remove temporary smells, live plants can help...so can more water changes...

what's TMS?
 
With the pH of your water carbonate sand will have a large impact on your hardness and pH.
 
I FINALLY found pool filter sand without any additives and not a too steep price, yay!

Thanks!
 
A healthy aquarium should'nt really have any detecable odor

that's why I've been trying to find out what's wrong so I can fix it. :)
