Skimate not stinky?
Anyone else find there skimate not stinky?? I get som nice dark stuff that clogs the stem if I don't clean twice a week but I don't find it has a smell or a really stinky smell anyway. Am I just used to it or is something wrong? I use a aquaC urchin non pro with a total system vol of about 25g

I have the opposite problem. Mine is very stinky, and have to clean my skimmer cup and collector (milk jug) at least twice a week. I have a Beckett type, with a lot of air flow, so it smells up my whole sump room.
Was thinking of maybe putting some spent carbon or something in the milk jug to maybe absorb the smell.

consider yourself lucky, its probably due to the size of you tank, my bio cube 29 is running a tunze skimmer, skimmate is dark but it does't really smell too bad, not that I purposelly sniffs it. Well only when I am nervous. When it comes to the 210, OMFG does that ever stink up the whole house.

Maybe you're over skimming?
