Defusers in the same room as the aquarium?

[btackerman]

So I have a Pura air defuser and my wife thought that it should go in the office with my 400 gallon system. I am just worried about it polluting the water like how we watch what chemicals we use around our tanks. Any one have guidance in regards to defusers or candles in the same room as your tank?

Defuses are water vapour with perfume in them right? If you don’t have a lid (and even if you do) I assume that’s going to fall right into the tank. I wouldn’t do it but I haven’t tried it or seen anyone else do it

You mean a diffuser - the type that keeps water really hot and into which you put essential oils causing them to evaporate?

MY experience of them is that you can smell them on your clothes after you leave the room, so no way I'd put one into same room as any fish tank. The tank shouldn't smell (except maybe the skimmer), so I don't see the point

Thank you guys for the advice. I guess I’ll just leave coffe grounds in my office by the tank and yes the skimmer is what stinks
