It's happening again! I'm getting a nasty smell from a hydei culture! How does one prevent this? The culture is not that old, and the media is josh's frogs'. I made it about a week ago, and there are larva, but its starting to smell gross again. What could be the cause of this? Too much water? Too little? I have a mel. one that doesn't smell at all, and its rather old! It is kind of liquidy still  in the sense that if  I move it sideways, the media will slowly start to move in that direction, but I've made ones like that one before, and it didn't stink nearly as much! 

Any ideas on how to contain the smell? I might just stick it in the garage and hope for the best, my other one ended up having to go outside cause it smelled of vomit. Both of these are hydei btw!
