So I am using a macro aqua m-50 protein skimmer which is working great for me but i have one pet peeve with it. You have to turn it off to empty the skim cup.
Being me I am pretty lazy with turning one piece of equipment off so I decided I am going to syphon out the skim from the cup into a bowl. While getting the syphon started I sucked on the tube for too long which resulted in a mouthful of dark brown sludgy skim. Out of shock I accidentally swallowed the skim... this was the worst taste I've ever experienced in my life. Let this be a lesson to me that I should just turn off the skimmer and empty it over siphoning out the skim...
 
Y U M !!!!!
Listerine or scope should do wonders

They say, it puts hair on your chest..........Hahaha
 
Good protein! Ha i haven’t drank skim mate but i have had a bunch of detritus get into my mouth... absolutely disgusting.
 
That might be the grossest thing I have heard relating to our hobby....concentrated fish poop among some other undesirables. Hopefully it was a wet skim :D

...and this makes the rotten part of my brain think: "do you prefer your skimmate creamy or chunky?"
