I have a 55g grow out tank with 1 Magnum HOB w/ carbon, 2 Hagen 402 w/ pre max filters and 1 hydro sponge running off of 40g air pump. I am doing 50-65% water changes every 2 days and the water still stinks.... IS there a different chemical filtration I can use besides the carbon that would be more effective in removing the foul smell of the water? Possibly up the chemical filtration to something more than 250 gph?

Carbon should get the smell out. Whens the last time you changed your carbon out?

less than a week ago... sponge prefilters are cleaned every 2-3 days. there is possibly 150 1 inch fish in there so they are producing quite a load but the 402's with the prefilters on there seems to do a good job of collecting the waste.
