would it hurt the fish

IMO i wouldn't use it in one of my tanks. You should never put anything in your tanks unless it states for use in aquariums. Of course there are exceptions but i don't feel this would be one of them.

 

[Cossack1977]

for any reason?

would it be dangerous to fish?

 

[Nina7777]

IMO but if you want to see what others think. Be my guest

IMO don't waste your $65, spend that on fish

 

[Cossack1977]

just want to know if it could hurt the fish

Theres actually a fish store around here that uses one in one of their river display tanks. Also, a local reptile shop uses one in their dart frog tank. I would assume they are ok to use.


But that price is way high. You can get those things for like $5

I've seen one similar in use at an lfs in one of their display tanks. The fog stays on top of the water. Don't think I'd want one but it looks cool.

I think it would look really cool personally. How does it make the fog, like are there any chemicals in it? If you deicde to do it, let us know, as I would be interested in trying it to!

 

[bittersweet]

unless it is specially made for fishtanks i wouldnt use it, it also look like its made of metal, you should never put that in a fish tank

Does the fog have chemicals in it?

 

[punkserb]

my friends and i run a dance club and we have a large fog machine. IT DOES NOT RUN ON WATER!

the fog is caused by using a fog solution, it has a specific smell. doesn't small bad IMO, but has many chemicals that would be very unhealthy for a fish.

just picture this, if all it fogged out was water, it would be steam, which would eventuially condense and make big wet puddles in your room where tha fish are. this would happen in clubs too and no one wants to swima nd plash, they want to dance.

the way to counter this is by adding certain chemicals that evaporate quickly. one such chemical is acetone and other alcohols. that is why if you leave a bottle of nail polish remover (essentially diluted acetone) will evaporate.

ok that explanation was longer than i thought. so in summary, no don't get this it will either kill or badly injure your fish. won't be all that great for your health too if kept running a lot.

Disregard that previous post, what that guy stated is true about the fog solution using chemicals, but thats only the large foggers which are used for filling rooms with fog. The smaller foggers that your inquiring about are chemical free, they create the fog by vibrating the water at a very intense speed causing the water to turn into a ultra fine mist. IMO get a fogger specifically designed for use in fishtanks, check ur lfs. Good Luck

ok but it will still make puddles, unless it directs the water straight back into the tank.

if so, that is pretty cool. but like others have said, unless its specifically for fish and tanks, i wouldn't recommend it.
