I think there must be something addictive in that acro odor... I can't seem to stop bringing home more.

Dead snails take the prize hands down. I must be an idiot, I see a snail sitting in the same place for two or three days and take it out of the tank and smell it to see if it's alive.

Unloaded 5 boxes of LR Sunday night and for the first time I almost barfed. It always stinks but one box smelled like I just found all of California's missing persons when I opened it. They must have run out of rock because it was full of brittle stars to pump up the billable weight.

Live Acro smells OK, dead acro stinks bad.

I don't like the smell one bit, it makes me light headed after too long. Xenia is even worse.

Fresh live rock smells good. When it's bad it is BAD. My husband and I like the smell of brand new electronics and a freshly opened bucket of salt mix.

I think acros smell like garlic, I'm sure I'd rather smell your girlfriends feet though.

Corals in general stink. My ionic breeze takes a lil while to catch up with Xenia smell, and Acro is pretty strong too.
