Your water should smell a bit, like wet ground or something, but no foul odor anyway.
Does it smell rottun or what?

Your tank should smell a little bit but if it is strong then something is up. The cause is usually poor water quality, either lots of ammonia present or high nitrates. Can you test your water and post the results please. If your gravel was really dirty you may have stirred it up when you cleaned it and that is causing the smell. Either way do some daily water changes
