Well my speckled leather bit the dust. I noticed a faint smell on my way to school but I figured I just had to clean the skimmer. When I got home later the smell was noticably worse. The leather turned to mush when I tried to pick it up with some forceps. I took out as much as I could but some stayed on the bottom. The protein skimmer was overflowing from the gunk so I clean it out. Hopefully my LR with deal with the added waste by tomorrow. If it still stinks tomorrow I may have to suck up the muck and do a water change. Bleh!
