help my tank smells

[mybeardieslovefood]

I have a 120 gallon tank for my beardies, I use newspaper for my substance and it smells really bad. I use to have sand but i replaced it, the bottom of the enclosure has a little sand though. Please HELP

what are you cleaning it with? and how often? you should be replacing the substrate daily, or at least the soiled portions. and disinfecting once a week or so.

how many beardies do you have in the tank? i know its suggested that you dont house them together, as they aren't really social animals.

I clean it with this reptile cleaner that blocks odor ( But there is still smell) I clean weekly but i clean the soiled portions every other day. Two beardies that get along very well.

Like babysmomma said you should sanitize at least once a week, also I would get the left over sand out that would hold the smell and also bacteria. I use a tile substrate alot easier to clean. One of my beardies would poop and lay in it so he would smell, try bathing
him a couple times a week, hope this helps.
