I ask this question because I recently lost my sabae anemone and when I removed it from the tank, the smell was so bad I almost threw up.
It got me thinking if it was possible to have something smell worse than this.
So, what's the worst aquarium related smell you've experianced?

Forgot to put a bottle of dt's phyto back in the fridge. My wife didn't know it needed to be refrigerated and put it in my fish supply drawer where i found it about 10 days later. Wow, when its frsh it smells pretty bad but this was EXTREME!!!
the funny(well maybe sick and gross not funny) thing is even after almost puking from the smell, I had to smell it again :scared: it was such a weird smell, lol

The collection cup on my skimmer runs into an old 1 gallon milk jug, after about 3 days that thing would gag a maggot!

Bought a bunch of hermit crabs from here and extra shells. They recommend boiling the extra shells, WOW did it reek. The fun part is that not only does it smell bad and you get to stink up the kitchen and entire house, you do it on purpose!

I had a order of a whole bunch of different color mushrooms go on a fedex trip around the country. After over a week in the hot and cold, my big box of slime, I heaved uncontrollably when I opened it, all the way out the door with it. After that for a month everytime I just thought about it, I got the dry heaves. HORRIBLE!!!
