You get some test kits, test the water, let us know what the numbers are
and we can help you out with how to treat it.

Or, you can take it to the pond/aquarium store, have them test the water,
write down the numbers (don't take "your water is fine" for an answer). If
they can't give you numbers, they don't know what they're doing, go to a
better store or buy your own test kits. Ammonia, Nitrite, pH, KH for
starters. ~ jan

Often times when youy clean out an aquarium the mulm that settles into
the gravel or botom substrate is holding lots of decayed material
which when disturbed releases a rotten egg smell (hydrogen sulphide
?) IIRC. If your waters parameters are fine, some use of Activated
Charcoal will clear out the odors.

Well, if he used them, then he did not have anymore, as UN inspectors,
and american military inspector discoverd after the invasion of Iraq.
