I actually have a skimmate container that gets emptied when the smell is nasty. It holds about 1 gallon, but gets emptied when it has maybe 1 to 2 cups of stench in it....because I can't stand the smell. I don't know why, but it has a rotten egg smell to it.
The smell of the skimmate makes me gag. I have two Boston Terriers, and I would rather smell their nasty farts than the skimmate that's in my skimmer. :confused:
