A few months back I started mixing up my own salwater. I got an RO unit, and one of those big Brute garbage cans. Recently, I have noticed a bad odor from the bucket, and there seems to be some sort of buildup on the powerheads Im using. Any idea what can be causing this, or what I should do?

I have tested the water it is clear of ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and Iron.

Thanks a lot,

Scott Jennings

I had the same problem but seemed to fix it with good aeration.
