Extra Stinky Skimmer After LRS

[marlinmon]

Anyone else notice their skimate become extra stinky, like rank, after using LRS foods. This has what has been happening when I use LRS instead of the run of the mill cube stuff. I mean, I guess my skimmer is working. Any advice to cut down on the stank? It's bad when I only have a dribble of skimate in the skimmer.

My tank water is fine. No smell there. But the skimmer cup.... whew. My rollermat doesn't seem to keep much smell on it so I'm in the clear there.

I found that my whole tank room starts to smell a bit when I feed LRS foods. Is this common? If I feed mysis or other types it is fine, but when I feed LRS then my tank room smells for at least a couple of days afterwards.

LRS is fresh food so I'm sure it's gonna stink no matter what. Never noticed a difference from other fresh foods like Rod's, reef nutrition, PE mysis. The skimmer always stunk. As long as the tank itself does not smell, I wouldn't change or add anything. The skimmer is just removing organics. If the skimmer did not stink then I'd be worried.
