So, I've been using a greenhouse for a closed chamber for about a year and a half. Everything seems to work fine, but there's one issue that annoys me to no end.
It seems like after about 2 months, my orchid bark substrate starts to stink. I spot clean daily and scoop when I see waste or excess food. It doesn't seem to help a lot. The water at the bottom of the sub just starts to reek in a couple of months. I don't mind cleaning and replacing, which I do. That said, it seems like I recall other keepers telling me that replacing the bark wasn't something I'd need to do too often.
Is this normal or am I doing something wrong here?
