Protein Skimmer Reeks!!

I removed all my mechanical filtration and bio-balls. That was a great
suggestion as my skimmer is now picking up 2-3x the debris as before.

Problem is that now the skimmer reeks bad! Putrid bad! I was emptying
it once a day, and started twice a day. Problem is that by it's very
design, it has air flowing through it and the aroma isn't the most
appealing for living room. (Of course, I've opened the windows now due
to nicer weather.)

Any ideas? I can hope that this will settle down eventually.
