    i wouldn't think so. there are tons of people on this forum that smoke(and i assume they do it inside their house), if there fish are doing well, incense shouldn't matter that much. im sure some of it might get in the water but not enough to do any damage. if you already stick you hand in the aquarium without gloves, this shouldn't be any worse.

    this just MO. its kinda like how people try to ban public smoking, its not like there aren't millions of cars on the streets that probably impact non-smokers(im one so my) health alot more then a lil second hand smoke. actually diesel exhaust is almost as bad as smoking first hand.

    Hi, Here is an artical that is quite extensive and only for those who truly seek to understand contamination of aquariums and ways to avoid and address them. It is thorough and can get "deep" and needs a good study on your behalf but well worth the study.

    be interesting to know, I burn mine a lot. I think a lot of incense are all natural, correct?

    Cigarettes have loads of chemicals in them.

    So how that translate, not sure.

    this has been asked many times before, but usually about cig smoke. unless you are using your tank as a bong, I'm pretty sure it wont matter.
