Scents in the Air Bad?

Some critters are more sensitive. Mantis Shrimp for example are extremely sensitive to aromatics.

I still remember a story about scented candles and a tank crash, I don't care to prove it, I will never risk it.

I turn off my skimmer when there is any scent in the air esp that febreze stuff. My tank is in the basement though which helps keep it away from the goings on upstairs with cleaners and candles and such.

I got a Air purifier next to my tank =) Just keep the air clean and smell good for the fishes, coral and of course the owner, myself =)

Because you don't believe it doesn't make it hogwash, nor does believing it necessarily make it true. It was quite a lengthy thread on rec.aquaria.marine.reefs years ago and I followed it quite closely. I was merely pointing that out.
