the problem is the solids float and get stuck above the water line of the tank and stay there. put a couple gallons of vinegar in and then fill the tank to the top with water.

let that sit a day or two before draining it. the vinegar works as an acid to clean as well as an odor absorbent.

what you are dealing with is a combo of sewerage smell along with mold and mildew smell so its best to use those chlorine disks for toilet tanks and break them up and flush into the tank after cleaning it, that will continue to fight mold and mildew while keeping the smell out

Some say ozone destroys rubber hoses. Others say not. I’d find another solution.
