Paint???

[CompulsiveAqua]

i cant decide. Will paint fumes hurt a fish tank? I was going to paint the floor in my basement and was wondering if I should do some covering or shutting off of pumps? My 125g is open, along with the 65g sump and 30g refuge...help???

We used low VOC paint on the walls and it did not seem to bother my fish. But, IDK if cement paint is available in low VOC. If it isn't I would turn the pumps off but I am thinking that your tank is pretty heavily stocked and you don't want to be without circulation for long.

Guess I will return the paint....not gonna take a chance....invested tooooo much.

I guess the basement will just have to remain looking like pooh, hows your boy CJ?...any new pics of the corner tank?

It's all good here. I am taking 9 hours in grad school this semester and working full time so I don't have much life. How's everything in Cleveland? I need to scrape the glass before I can take any pictures of my tanks. But I heard that Eric Borneman's are like that so I guess I am in good company.

Lol...scrap the glass...I know what ya mean. Cool that you are going back to school, its always a good thing to learn something new, no matter how old you are...
