i wanted to know if anyone had any ideas ( major cons) for putting a
20g. saltwater tank in my office in the house where my wife and i
smoke. i can imagine it isnt good for the water quality but any
comments would be appreciated. Mirek

I've had fish-only marine tanks since 1976. Quit smoking in 1989. The only
adverse effect I noticed of smoking on my tanks was on air pumps. The flapper
valves and filters would gum up and have to be replaced fairly frequently.

I don't know what effect smoking might have on reef animals.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

If you run carbon it should take out any of the pollutants from the tank.
The carbon wont help your foolish habit from destroying your lungs though,
but perhaps your fish will outlive you...

No , not really. Evangelizing doesnt save anything,it certainly doesnt save
souls, and busting on people smoking might save someone from a horrible
lengthy death from emphysema like some of my granparents who took an entire
year to die , wasting away in a hospital.

Besides, as a resident of California, it is my solemn duty to impress upon
the rest of the backward world how eliminating smoking in all public places
makes the world so much better a place.

And why are you commenting anyway, if anything your comment should be , "
how in the world can you smoke and keep exotic fish anyway".
