Skimmer smell help

[GoTakeANap]

Hello everyone. Bought a new skimmer not to long ago and it’s working great but the only problem is the smell is awful and it’s starting to stink up my house. Any ideas on how to get rid of the smell or to contain it within the stand? Back of stand is open but front stand doors are always closed. Thanks for the help in advance!

How often do you clean the collection cup?

A skimmer does not normally have an aroma unless it is not regularly cleaned.

It's poop and waste. It's basically the sewage in your aquarium.

Clean it more often is really the only way.
