It shouldn't, my tank may occasionaly smell if I disturb something but other than that it smells like fresh ocean water and you won't notice it unless the room is closed up.

Both, But usually if your tank smells of amonia all your fish are dead...
So most of the time it your nitrates your smelling.

call me crazy but I think it smells great. I sometimes take in a deep whiff. It 's not strong but it smells clean....unlike my freshwater tanks
