    i smoke hookah and im wondering if its bad to smoke by your tank? im not blowing it into the tank or anything. my lfs owners smoke all the time and its by our two huge sumps we have and it doesnt affect our livestock. so im just wondering if its bad or not and does anyone else smoke?

    i dont think it would necessarily be good to smoke by the tank or where the smoke particules could get into the water. not sure how badly it would affect it tho. but if your fish start eyeing your bag of doritos , you know somes got in. :) paint fumes are detrimental too.

    It can prevent your skimmer from working properly for a few hours.

    I wouldn't do it just to be on the safe side.
