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

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

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

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