bigbabich Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I have a coralife protein skimmer. Not quite dry skim but close. Anyone else's skimmer smell so ####### bad when you clean it out that it makes you vomit? Gag heavy? I have taken to tying a towel around my face when I dump that thing. I don't mean it smells really bad. I'm talking uncontrollable gagging. This is some serious nasty smell. Link to comment

bigbabich Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Xytrix01: That's just plain nasty. Good luck with that! I used to work on party fishing boats. When I was 14 and just started, I was the chum boy. Maybe it's been too long, but my skimmer smells WORSE! Link to comment
flycasterjosh Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I keep my skimmate in a Scope bottle and use it as mouthwash. Put it in my mouth, swish it around in my mouth a bit, let the little chunks get between my teeth, then spit it out. Fresh and clean. Sometimes I just swallow it. Link to comment
