Bug spray?

moseley75 · Oct 24, 2017

The apartment complex where I live is having all the apartments treated. Will the chemical spray used be a problem for my tanks? If so, is there any thing I can do? One of my tanks is a rimless without a lid should I cover it somehow?

Most def cover the tanks, turn off all skimmers ...good luck!

Plastic sheeting over the tank. No skimmer as previously stated and run some GAC after. Small water change would be beneficial after as well. Good luck!

Crazy as it sounds but, I used Saran Wrap like you would plastic stretch plasic to wrap a pallet for shipping. Makes an airtight seal.
Keeps food fresh and tanks safe.
