How would you describe your fish tank smell?

100% like a were rainy day, so were earthy like for freshwater tanks. Saltwater seem like you are at the beach.

My fish tank smells bad when fish food and dead leaves accumulate in the tank. Even after removing it, the smell lingers on. So I tried the activated powdered carbon filter mesh bag in my fish tank and that has reduced the smell to a considerable extent.

Smells like soil and plant leaves. Mostly it is just the smell of water.
