Brand new setup
I just added about 40gallons of ro/di water and was in the process of mixing my salt in the tank while I am finishing up my plumbing. The only thing I really had in there was my BRS tonga rock.
I had my RW8 on full blast so water movement was good enough.
In less than 2 days my water went foul, smelled like something died and water looked real dirty. Luckily I didn't put too much brand new salt.
I am guessing it is the Tonga rock that caused the smell. I didn't rinse it before hand. Yeah I got it in the desired aquascape so I was impatient.
Anyone bought Tonga rock from BRS and have this happen? I am pretty sure that was the cause of my issue but a little surprised it caused that bad of a smell vs dirty water.
