I have used tesco low dust cat litter in my tank. I washed and washed it . But now it's in tank I can still smell the scent will that be ok . Only plants in at moment .
Well ya can't wash any more so I guess you'd better stick some carbon in your filter. Maybe some zeolite as well. Fluval have zeolite (a blend of both) in a bag you can slip in the filter. This is just a blind recommendation, but together they pretty much absorb it all
I've used cat litter in a few tanks. I can never get rid of the smell. I do add carbon to begin with as a precaution. Not sure if it is needed or not. I have not had any problems with it.
I've used Sophisticat Pink, which absolutely stinks, but it fades and doesn't harm plants. I haven't dared try fish in with it whilst it is still smelly though !
Should only last a few weeks if that. Carbon definitely helps. If its a closed top tank it always seems worse as its not venting off so you get a big waft as you open the lid
Hi Karen,
As Andy says, you will still smell it after rinsing but it soon disappears and no one I know has reported any probs with their tanks, I'd just forget it and carry on!!
