    i'm getting worried about all of these bad smells you guys are getting, does the smell actually leak into the room that the tank is in, or is it only when you clean the skimmer? i'm worried because when i get my new skimmer, the tank is in my bedroom and i don't want my room smelling like sh**

    Lol I never smell mine, it's in the bedroom also. I think frozen food smell is more offensive.. I likey but my girlfriend begs to differ. Don't worry

    lol ok,i just wanted to make sure, cause with my basically broken skimmer i haven't experienced anything like you guys, speaking of this bad skimmer, since its not even skimming,, should i just turn it off since it hasn't been doing its job properly

    Keep this one going until you get a real skimmer :) One that provides oxygen as well as remove poo.
