in the dingo household the dog points to dingo whenever there's a "special" smell.

drdrew · 03-11-2004, 06:11 PM

maybe it's the bio balls that are creating such an offensive stench?

kennerd · 03-11-2004, 06:14 PM

My Euro Reef pumps out some ultra concentrated nasty stuff.

But, like some good french cheese, it smells awful, but tastes pretty darn good.

ken, you are the only person I know that would liken the smell of skimmate to cheese.

kennerd · 03-11-2004, 06:27 PM

Hey, that's what makes me so intriguing.......are you sure you want me to cook for you?

caja · 03-11-2004, 06:35 PM

only if you wear that spiffy new executive chef's outfit.

Nasty - natch ... but I couldn't make out the difference between the four poll choices.

Craig Manoukian · 03-12-2004, 02:10 AM

TDS and cellulose is not the best smelling stuff. Just think how happy your fish are not to be swimmin' in the stuff!

kennerd · 03-12-2004, 02:23 AM

oui, mon Cajerie!

caja · 03-12-2004, 10:04 AM

um, no actually I don't gotta love it. I try to avoid it whenever possible. I'm a girl, and we girls try to avoid unpleasant things at all times, unlike men who seem to relish in them and find them hysterically funny.

The skimmage is foul smelling when i dump the container out. I now have the air coming out of the wast container running thru a carbon filter. A home made Rubermade version of the Aqua C waste container. That eliminated 90% of the stench in my house
