Smoking inside is fine guys but please be advised you need a minimum 6 foot long room to smoke in.

I wonder if some Texada Timewarp in a bong hooked to the air intake would ease the tension in the reef, Question is would you chop up the Twinkies or throw them in whole.

Seriously tho, I dont smoke and visitors are kicked out and kept away from the skimmer air intake so it is not sucked into the tank.

If I was a smoker, would seem a silly being more worried about the effects on the tank over myself. Be more if it's okay for me, it's okay for the tank.

We do smoke in the house, but never near the fish room. In the midst of building our new fish room, i have planed to have it a smoking room. All tanks are in wall, with a sump room which will be totally sealed with it's own ventilation, so the smoke(be it good or skunkin) will not be an issue. Only the good stuff will be allowed in the sump room.

I don't smoke. I wouldn't let anyone smoke in my house or car.

Never smoked in the house when I was a smoker (two years since I quit)

Skimmers do react to the O2 levels in the house. Most notice it after parties. The skimmers react differently when many people are over.

New homes in the summer notice it too (unless they have a good HVAC system)

I don't smoke. But hear are my thoughts to the question at hand. We are all striving to have that perfect tank but controlling what goes in to our tanks. Smoking in the house, the air that is polluted by smoking is now introduced into the tank. Even small parts of smoke PPM. Read the side of a pack of smokes. All that goes into your tank by the skimmer air intake. You might as well pour oil in your tank BP!

Well maybe u should worry about your own health for your childrens sake.

Being the son of a smoker I personally hate all smokers. They are selfish, ignorant, and weak. When you tell them to quit they'll give the "it's an addiction" speech, BS!!! Quit all excuses!! If you really cared about your children or your health you would stop without ever looking back.

I know what it's like to have an addiction because for a few months I was addicted to weed, and as i saw what it was doing to me I quit and I was only 14.

This is my 2 cents, take the advice or leave it, it's your grave your digging.
