Just thought I'd share a recent bizarre discovery.

I went to clean out my skimmer cup just now and for some reason I decided to smell it first. Weird, I know. I smell everything. Anyways, I was expecting this horrid, putrid smell. Instead, it smelled alot like cologne. Not any particular cologne and not anything I wear, but it smelled oddly pleasant.

Don't be surprised if you see a bottle at your local fragrance department.:)
 
lolll maybe there was something else in the air that made its way to your nose.....
 
lol....my skimmate smells like a cabbage fart.
 
Never heard of skimmate smelling good,lol,but different people have different taste when it comes to smell.
 
lol....my skimmate smells like a cabbage fart.

Ditto.. Its a cross between that phyto I feed and the garbage dump.. nasty.. My cat runs away when I'm cleaning the skimmer cup..
 
That is exactly what I was expecting. When I ran the tank a decade ago I remember how bad it used to be. Now it's weird. I'm sure that once I get some livestock in there things will change, but for now....skimmate aftershave anyone? Lol.

I had my fiance smell it too, just to make sure I wasn't crazy. She agreed that it did smell like cologne.
 
Well apparently they make the world's most expensive perfumes using Whale puke (or something like that), so it's not that farfetched:)
