I don't have a UV Sterilizer (yet!), but as I understand it, their function is to kill harmful microorganisms and algae, right? So, I'm thinking that now you're collecting a whole bunch of dead microorganisms, which are potentially pretty stinky when collected together and let to stew for a few days.

Just an idea!

Also...I use vinegar to clean my skimmer cup. Otherwise, the sulfur-shite-nasty smell just doesn't go away.
