This is a pic of my first full cup of nastiness from my PM ES100. All the "solid" settled to the bottom. Just exciting to see all that out of my tank.

lol I chuckled !! I know it can't be good to introduce that back into your tank, but lets say it slips out your hand while taking it off the skimmer and pours out into the sump ?? What would really happen ??

Nasty. Does the waste collector turn the skimmer's pump off some way to prevent it from overflowing when it becomes full?

I expected it to smell, but maybe i was just holding my breath really, really well. either way, pretty nasty

if it did "overflow" it the pingpong ball would rise, close the hole, and then the cup of the skimmer would fill.. and then I don't know. I'm really not to eager to find out!
just had to share. :D
