Stinky how? Is it an ammonia smell (rotten egg), or an earthy smell?
Will depend on how many fish you decide to add, but I don't run that much filtration on any of my 4 foot tanks.
[ATTACH] I exclusively use these Sobo airpumps. But specifically the usb ones, so during extended power outages (10 h or more) I just use a power...
I'd love to get my hands on some.

Where are you located?
How many litres?
A breeding tank of Enneacampus ansorgii (The African Freshwater, or Dwarf Red Snout, Pipefish)
It's mentioned in this thread. Was still safe in 2012. Don't know if anything changed in the meantime....
