Used PhosBan Smell?

I just cleaned out my PhosBan reactor and just about lost my dinner. The PhosBan has only been in there about 2 weeks. Is it normal to have a very bad smell?

I run my reactor 2 months before cleaning and GFO change out and I've never encountered a bad smell. Somethings not right here...

The only time my phosban reactor had a bad smell is when I accidently unplugged it for a weekend. I changed the GFO before plugging the pump back in. I had a rotten egg smell.
