I see it stinks so good to you but other people probably dont think so. when I smell mine it brings me back to when I was a child and use to collect wild newts and salamanders from the woods and keep them in a tank of natural mud plains and dirty water pools. after several weeks of amphibian poop and no maintenence the smell is irrily simular to my skimate. last week we were going to have company 4hrs later. my wife saw me in the kitchen about to clean the collection cup and said " you arent going to do that now" and I said "no I just like to hold dirty collection cups over the sink in the kitchen" but it came out of my mouth as "yes, I'll light a candle". anyway she took the cup and dumped it out in the backyard. the smell lingers.

Dump it down the drain but run the water for a bit to make sure the skimmate is cleared out of the P-trap under the sink or it will smell worse after sitting there a while......
