My GF likes to burn candles in the front room where our fish tank is, should I not let her anymore? They are odor candles and I was afraid maybe some of it may end up in the aquarium. The tank does have a canopy if it matters but I will be installing 4 fans this weekend to blow cool air over the water.

Plenty of smoking done in my house with no ill affects to my tank. I also burn incents all the time in the same room of my tank with no ill affects.

Did you ever try to stop smoking in the house to see what the fish would do?

I wouldn't worry about it. We don't burn scented candles (our cats are too curious about the flame) but we do have a candle warmer -- it's like a tiny hotplate that melts the candle and releases the scent into the room. It's the same effect as burning a candle, minus the smoke when you extinguish the flame, and even though it's only about 15 feet away our reef doesn't seem to react at all.

pmolan- that is a good question. I have been smoking in my house as long as i have had the tank. My tank is thriving, so either my fish dont notice the smoke or they enjoy it as much as i do.

You know this is sort of funny; my Westie sleeps next to the tank and real close to my skimmer. Man, when this little pup lets one go LOOK OUT! I was wondering just the other night if my C3 Bermuda Aquatic skimmer would sense the stench and go hay wire
Kid you not!
SEE...Thats what Iam saying.....She will NEVER say it....She will allways blame it on the dog or the fish.......WOMAN dont fart....LOL

awww the fish could not smell any worse than the person that smokes... nothing I like better than inviting visitors to leave our office that smell of smoke... (Dr's office) they have to go home, shower, put on clean clothes and try again...

Interesting. This has never even crossed my mind. Now I'm wondering if my fish mind that "fresh floral" Febreeze I use all the time! LOL

Naw I smoked for more years than most of the members here have been alive.... but I quit cold turkey about 10 years ago... I work in an research/ immunology/ allergist office and any smoke stink can trip some people into a full fledged episode that can leave them dead on the floor (asthma can be pretty nasty)...
sorry for the short/tort reply...
there are responsible smokers out there and thank you... it is the ones that do all they can to push the rules like any habit or hobby
I would worry more about the Frebreeze than smoke myself... it is more likely to land in the tank in a soluble form and it carries a host of chemicals designed to be antibacterial as I recall?
