I set up the Suriname Toad aquascape back in November. I was really excited to get the tank stocked, but the setup had different plans... The Dragon Root I used for the hardscape ruined everything!

It began with the normal molding/film process. I thought nothing of it until things started to stink! It wasn't more than a week before the room smelled strongly of rotten eggs. I didn't know what it was at first, but I soon discovered that it was this tank.

I did what most of us would do and changed the water. That solved the issue, but only for a day. From that point forward, I was stuck doing a daily water change of 100% or the room would smell. I kept it up for a month and resorted to chemicals. The combination of these did help, but it wasn't enough.

Fast forward almost 3 months and things aren't much better. The tank still stinks, the film has not dissipated (even though I remove it), the plants are gone, and I'm tired of dealing with it. I knew the wood was the source of the problem, so I decided to redo the tank entirely.
