I agree with you 100%. It is really nasty, especially the chunky poo buildup around the skimmer cup.

I would have agreed with you until my wife brought home the Beagle. Beagle farts make skimmate smell like lilacs.

could always feed the crabs to the beagle.
crabs gone, beagle happy, beagle farts worthwhile, and crab cakes on the lawn for the crows!

sorry, off topic

Good plan. Better yet, grow the crab to a good size and maybe they'd kill each other off. :mrgreen:

I disagree too. Worst smell that gives me an instant headache is driving down the hill in to the Suncor site in Ft.Mac.
