    Even though skim mate smells disgusting well I would like to say I kinda miss it lol okay no I don't but oddly enough my skim mate looks nasty and brown but it doesn't smell anymore ! It once did but now it's badically oderless , what's up with that ? I feel like my tank isn't getting propperly skimmed

    Now that's odd, I wonder why maybe it's pulling it from the water. I thought maybe I have become immune to the small but I realized with that kind of stink, impossible

    just make sure that stranger isnt someone who you want to hang around with, you might loose a friend if you have em sniff your skimmate lol
    next time a solicitor comes to your door tell em to smell it and then you will listen to there speech, bet they will go running down the street.
