My wife gets a little woozy after messing with zoanthids no matter if she washes her hands afterwards or not.

My theory is if you can still smell it...its still there

That would definitely be true for the smell of a dead turbo snail! That is a smell that seems to take a couple of days to get out of your nose.

i think too that when you have soft hands compared to rough hands it affects how things stink you or it could be a coensidence

How often do you have to empty your collection cup?

I understand with the water changes. For me it usually takes about 24 hours after a water change for my skimmer to kick back in. I do 5 gallon changes every 4 or 5 days though. I was just noting an observation that the lights affect the bioload in the system.

I have a autodrain on the skimmer cup. I clean it once every few weeks. It probably takes a few weeks to a month to fill the gallon jug.

I asked CPR about the piece, they said I should get it too. I also have problems with too many stray bubbles through the system.

I attached pictures of my setup.

Here is my anemone.

Sorry for the crappy pic. I had to shoot it through the top of the water. He is sitting on the curved side of my tank, so I can't shoot through the glass.
