Stinky Waste Collector

Does anyone know what I can put in my waste collector (seperate from my Aqua C EV120 skimmer) to reduce the odor?

find a way to place some carbon in front of the air-intake to reduce the odor.

A little kalkwasser solution in the cup will cut out the odor caused by decomposition, but if you have the strong sewer smell, a bag of activated carbon over where the air comes out is a good temporary fix. Long term it's good to build a carbon chamber out of PVC or some other plastic.
