For some reason my skimmer stunk to high heaven today! I have no idea what was different. Nothing that I know of has died in the tank, but it smelled like rotting, dying something or other.
Anyone have similar experiences?
I've added nothing different to the tank!
something spawn in the tank that u know of?
a fowling smell> any incence been burnt in the house recently?
maybe the skimmer consumed some baked beans! lol

well, the only species I see regularly spawning are my cleaner shrimp, but the babies are usually all eaten up, rather than fowling in the tank, so I don't think it's due to that.
Whether or not something else has spawned or not, I can't be sure of. Does the skimmate usually stink after spawning?
wes - actually, I did siphon out a bunch of xenia in my last tank cleaning last week, so it could be that some of the remainders that were a bit damaged were secreting mucus that ended up smelling really bad in the skimmer. Although I've done this before and haven't ever noticed THIS bad of a smell...
