bro,

mine can't be flushed out....i need to wipe most of the MUD out.... they have become mud paste

only some mud water trickles out of the aquaC cup....

but the H&S i make it skim wetter, so most of it can be just poured away

[weileong]

that's the only problem when you set it too dry.

When I go away for long trip I will set it more dry other wise I prefer it to be slightly wetter so less "toxic" when I wash it.

Have you try to smell the skimmate? Really can puke man.

I still need the waste collection cup so I can add carbon and no need to bear with the terrible smell coming out of the skimmer.

I think cos mine is open stand so the smell comes out more easily.

Roidan... excellent stuff bro! Sure looks like s**t... probably smell like it too! Must be due to all the feeding... several times a day, right? How is your school of queen anthias doing?

[roidan]

i set AquaC to dry and H&S to wet.....so can have both patterns of skimmate

never smell hard enough..lol....always never take deep breaths when cleaning them...

mine in the hall with open cabinet doors most of the time...but like you said, you close all the windows/doors so the smell get trapped....

but watever smell get wisked away by the breeze as the windows/doors are not closed

[roidan]

Holy smokes!! Stunningly beautiful!

And all that feeding... which explains all the "crap" in your skimmer!

And yes, of course I remember our first meeting several months ago, the SCWD.

Good to see that you and your reef are doing well!
