Hello everyone I’m just curious as to why my skimmer always smells like some kind of Cologne or soap... I am very religious about keeping soaps and what not off my hands while in tank but my skimmer always smells pretty good and ik it’s supposed to smell like death ... can y’all shed some light on this for me
 
Do you burn scented candles? Use plug in air fresheners? Use fabreeze or other air fresheners? If so they can make it into the water and the skimmer will skim them out.

I notice this with mine sometimes as well. Especially when it was new and not pulling much.

Well mine is pulling out some really dark brown liquid but can’t tune it for a more dry skim that’s as low as I can get it and most of the thick stuff collects in the funnel
 
you either have some very interesting bacterial fauna in your tank or a very unique sense of smell :)
Let’s go with the ladder cause I do know what death smells like I have left some melted sps outside for a few days and had neighbors complain

I burn candles but rarely... and I do have a door near it but can’t run a tubbing 6 feet bc it will drastically reduce the bubbles also I can’t figure out how to get it out the door with out pinching the tube
