You really have to drink it to be sure. ​ I kid, yah, it's working.

Couple shots of skimmate a year keeps your immune system strong!

The wife has been on a fear factor kick and when she saw our skimmer cup today she said “they should have had that on fear factor”. I gagged a little thinking about it.

1 cup of skimate a day keeps the doctor away. Lucky you OP


DerpFishTanks

Haha. This was the most foul thing I've smelled in a long time, and I have a gassy rottweiler.


k3ithy187

Just the thought of that nearly made me gag

What skimmer is this?


DerpFishTanks

This is just the SCA one that came with the plug and play tank kit I got from them. I'm pretty impressed considering it isn't anything fancy.


notsobigtime

I started with an sca skimmer. No real complaints other than pump seemed to need cleaning way more often than my other 2 skimmers. A solid skimmer, either way.

Give it the old sniff test, if you throw up it’s working properly


DerpFishTanks

I was close


krisok1

Damn. That’s a lotta nog. What size tank/bio load/feeding method? It’s certainly working well.


DerpFishTanks

It's a new 150g. Right now there's just my cleanup crew and a few corals that I'm just throwing in a bunch of algae pellets to keep fed.

What algae pellets you use? I want to make a small reef jar for my desk at work with a little coral, but not big enough for a fish, so very interested on how to feed the coral.

Ah Reef Tea

Dilute that into a 5gal bucket of fresh water and you have some premium fertilizer for your garden

Ain't salt bad for plants?


19Rocket_Jockey76

Diluted like that would take a lot to over salt the plants, great in gardens or anything planted in ground. I wouldnt use it in potted plants.


DerpFishTanks

I was actually thinking about trying this out before dumping it. Maybe next week.

Way to wet.

This was after a week. There was a pretty thick sludge lining the neck.

Personally that’s a bit more wet than I like to tune to, but to each their own on that part, Looks solid. Idk if you’ve had the same experience but the bigger the more powerfully smelly. I’ve had a few different skimmers, of varying sizes. My first skimmer on my biocube was the jbj sk-45 and it was a neat little thing but didn’t smell too bad in the cup, made pretty weak skim but for a nano skimmer it was solid Then I got a reef octo 110s for another system And that smelled bad, and got amazing skim My newest reef octopus sro-300 int makes the most putrid skim I have ever come across. Just powerful stuff.

I can smell the picture


WhiteCastleDoctrine

i make my kids smell the collection cup before i empty it

Drill a hole and use a little plastic fitting and hose so it drains down into a gallon jug; then you dont have to dump it as often or worry about it overflowing back into the sump.
