I am curing 40 pounds of very fresh (started curing 2 days after it was pulled out of the ocean) LR covered with clams, corals, sponges, tunicates, algaes, and some mantis shrimp (2 so far, both dead ).
My ammonia levels are off the chart and the tank is in my living room which is part of my converted studio. The bedroom wall is really like a closet cover and the awful smell has permeated the entire apartment. My wife is really not happy and honestly it is becoming a little overbearing even for my normally brutish sensibilities. There are 3 powerheads (1 900 MJ and the 2 returns that come with the jbj 28 nano) The temp is 79-80 depending on day or night. My question is:
Can I cover the tank with saran wrap to curb the smell. I think (not positive of this) the air should be in contact the surface water but there would still be a little air from where the power cords leave the tank. Advice? Is this stupid. I need to do something, Susana is getting more upset with each passing hour.
