tobacco in the tank! NEED HELP QUICKLY!

[asfullax]

Here is an idea. Tell your friend that you want to apoligize for making such a bid deal about it and you would like them to come over for a drink.

Chill a nice fresh can of beer filled with skimmate. then tell him thats how the fish felt. :lol:

Hello all,

First I just want to say that I hope your tank recovers from your friends stupidy.
You need to explain to him that this is your hobby and it cost$$$$$$ much more than taking care of a dog or cat or bird for that matter.
It's your own ecosystem that you love and spend time (lots of it) growing and repe the benifits from.
I feel better after reading all of your posts and realize that I'm not a "freak" for caring for all animals whether they be fish or a dog and they should all be treated as a family member!!!!!
The only way a "friend" or someone else will realize that hurting or teasing a pet or any animal for amusement is not right...IS TO FREAK ON THEIR HEADS!!!:mad2: :mad2: :mad2:
Then they WILL get it
Hope all works out for your tank.

Your average smoker toss his cig butts anywhere & everywhere
No-one is allowed to smoke in my house. My house, my air to breathe - take yer filthy habit somewhere else.

I'd put a cigarette out in his mouth - see how he likes it

Smoking should be banned in EVERY public establishment
Including public - as in out doors

You want to smoke, do it in your own car or your own house
Stay away from me. Poisoning other people with 2nd hand smoke is NOT a right

Easy there big Scuba!!! You do realize that your home air conditioner does more damage to all of our "Breathing Air" than people puffing on a cigerette:eek2:

Being your average smoker myself, I find that rather offensive. Yes, I smoke, but I too have a reef tank. I also have friends who smoke and have multiple tanks. However, one major difference between my friends and I and this person is that we respect the mini ecosystems we have created.

So you really can't justly make the accusation that your average smoke shows no regard for others health. There's smoking sections in some areas for a reason. Just because one person makes the choice to smoke doesn't mean that they should be segregated and out casted. Bigotry in any way is not a fun thing.

But I'm geting off topic, punch your friend for being rude and showing no regard for nature's creatures.

I am a smoker,but don't smoke if someone whom doesn't is around it's just rude,as far as your friend goes,not much of a friend and doesn't respect you or your tank,what to do well i don't think a *** kickin would help,just don't let them come over anymore and tell them why(front them out)with everyone around ,that way your other true friend whom don't but butt's in your tank can give that person some hell....CAN YOU SAY A**HOLE

hey sorry about your tank, i pay him back times 10!!!, i think youll be alright though, if it all goes south dump the whole tank in his house on a nice hot day

Worried about cig butts around? go drive your car a dump gas fumes and oil all over, this smoker hate bit is more liberal crybabies trying to tell you how to live, if someone told us or tanks are destroying the ocean would you fly your rock to fiji to but back? people need to worry more about themselves then telling people how to live, dont like smoke go someplace where its non smoking, dont like whats on tv/radio change the channel, this is the land of the free im free to smoke and your free to go somewhere else, like a i hate smokers forum
