Do You Smell Your Skimmate?

[Zotch]

This question is akin to cutting the cheese and testing the waters. Do you smell your skimmate before you dump it just to see how rank it is?

Thanks

Every time [emoji23] I don’t know why, but I do

Missing poll option: Accidentally.

I hold my breath until that stuff is far down the drain and rinsed by a lot of water. Carbon dosing makes some rank skimmate.

I try not to, but sometimes it can be so strong you cannot help but smell it

Can't help it - from sump to sink it stinks all the way.

It’s kind of like a fart! You got to sniff just because lol

 

[cracker]

Got a good whiff of it on Saturday - when I spilled my collection cup of vile swill on the tile floor on the way out the door. The wife was thrilled. I had fun cleaning it up too! ;Yuck

Once on purpose, just to see what all the stink was about..
Now I hold my breath, toss and rinse..

It's a weird reaction. You know it stinks but ya just gotta make sure. Lol. Then after making sure it smells I'm like "hunny, smell this!?:D:eek:

Yes
Amazed out how my TUNZE Skimmer produces such VIAL stuff!LOLo_O

 

[DancingShark]

lately, yes. It's only because it smells sweet. I don't know if there is something wrong with my skimmer. It didn't always smell this way.

In the interest of science of course -- !!

If you purposely smell it you must not be using a reef octopus, I hold my head far away as I dump it down the sink it's so nasty

My reaction to reading some of these comments

I don’t intentionally but it has a way of wafting right into my face & I get a sense of gratitude that my skimmer is working! Nuts right?

 

[samnaz]

NOT on purpose, but yes, every time I clean the cup I get a sick wiff and gag.

I make the kids smell mine (6,9yr girls) they run every time I open the front panels now.
