Skimmate: Smelliest Substance On Earth?
 
does anyone else feel like throwing up when you go to clean your skimmer cup?

i dont think i've ever smelled anything worse in my life

I agree with you 100%. It is really nasty, especially the chunky poo buildup around the skimmer cup.

I think Wes (bluetang) knows that feeling.

Ha ha.

I would have agreed with you until my wife brought home the Beagle. Beagle farts make skimmate smell like lilacs.

could always feed the crabs to the beagle.
crabs gone, beagle happy, beagle farts worthwhile, and crab cakes on the lawn for the crows!

sorry, off topic

Good plan. Better yet, grow the crab to a good size and maybe they'd kill each other off. :mrgreen:
