Aquarium in a smokey room?
 
i wanted to know if anyone had any ideas ( major cons) for putting a
20g. sal****er 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".

This is an international newsgroup... smoking is still considered the
'norm' in many countries and cultures outside of the US. If anyone
chooses to smoke in their own home then who the hell are you to preach
otherwise... So, as technically correct as you undoubtedly are, we don't
want need or want to hear your option on the personal health effects of
smoking in a reefs newsgroup. It's the rest of the world's solemn duty
to impress upon you as a US resident how eliminating your massive
pollution (as your country is world's largest emitter of greenhouse
gases) and signing up to Kyoto will make the world a much better
place!...and at least that is reef related !!!

You Californian residents can keep your keep you advise to yourself and
smoke it....

Jeez... People in glass houses...

Most people don't live in a home by themselves. Smokers
don't just smoke in their homes only. Other people have to
breath in the smoke from smokers. Anyone that smokes,
forces other people to breath in tobaco smoke. There is
not one smoker that does not force other people to breath
in his smoke.

My last post on the subject... The poster (not me) who asked the
question said both him and his wife smoke in the house, so what the hell
is your problem... we don't need a feckin' morality lecture on smoking.

On the subject of breathing other people's pollution... what about the
rubbish the we have to breathe here in Europe (and especially the UK)
that you US folks send us over on the jetstream every day !

BTW... I'm not even a smoker !
