    this is just a fun little poll to see what you guys think about the dirty side of this hobby. i personally think that cleaning a protein skimmer smells worse.

    the live rock I had didn't smell all that bad, just like a wet dirty dog. The protein skimmer has more of a funk to it.

    My tank is new and my protein skimmer is still getting out all this black gunk. Really smells nasty. I never noticed my live rock producing an odor.

    Protein skimmer. Every time I have to empty it I gag. Got to the point where I'll bribe someone to empty it for me.

    NoobDeBiff got stuck with protein skimmer cleaning duty last night! While I got stuck with placing my new corals where I wanted them on the rocks. Boo hoo.
