Dark is always great! I'm sure you'll get the "stink" soon enough!

I'm not kidding my skimming does not stink at all ... And I wonder if it's because there's not enough biological load in the aquarium or there's just something wrong here

Honestly it doesn't matter if your skimmer collects the ammonia or phosphate smell. As long as your tanks healthy and your filters and pumps are working.

Fresh skimate don't stink, it stinks because of bacteria decomposing it. It is the same as every-other organic matter.

I'm facing the same issue. Skimmate is dark, but no smell! Sometimes there is a muddy smell, but not stinky at all!

Bad smells = skimmer cup emptying interval too long
