Depending on what she burns I would think it should be OK.

Unless you are keeping a mantis shrimp. They can be pretty succeptible to things in the air.

I do a certain amount of paint work- and the two things that mess a room up more than anything is scented candles and ceiling fans. In these rooms where they are used there is usually a dark ring around the room in the carpet, and another buildup area around the rim of the ceiling. It can be so bad that paint will just bead on it. I only say this to point out anything burned or heated ends up somewhere-if you can smell it so can everything else. I doubt it will be a problem though- a good carbon in the tank- having tank covered, and making sure you have clean air going into your skimmer you should be fine. I would keep a eye on the skimmer- if it shuts down or speeds up I would drop the oil heating.
