Smelly nog

[bbehring]

Ok, so I just installed an Octo NDW200 Recirc Ext. in my closet. This was the only space I had available to install a larger skimmer to get away from an hob. Well this sucker is now putting out nasty nog that so smelly, my closet smells like a rotting forest. Wondering if there are any suggestions to curb the smell. For time being, I put some carbon in 2 old socks and laid them over the holes in the top of the collection cup. I have a drain in the bottom of the cup for a remote container, but I have it closed off for now. Any ideas?

Get rid of the 2 old socks and the smell should dissipate....lol. J/K. I've heard of people making small carbon filters out of airline tubing, film canisters and carbon.

Carbon is about the only way. You don't want to block teh vent holes though. Only thing you could do really is make a carbon lid taht would be on top of your lid you have now. Then put vent holes in it.

Ah, that sounds promising. Film cansiters, never would have thought of that?

Do you know what hydrogen sulfide smells like?

Old dirty socks?? Okay, I'll stop now. Sorry...

LOL the socks are clean, just pulled on older pair out that I didn't want. You know the ones at the bottom of the drawer that you never wear? Anyway, wondering about one of these?

or one of these? They also sell this for $70 that simply fits ontop of the collection cup lid. I could prolly simply mod to fit my octo lid pretty easy. Might be better to go with a larger auto waste container and tape over the collection cup holes?

I'm wondering which waste container/filter would be better, the aqua C or the ETSS?
