remodeling need to cover tank

[billy71]

Would there be a problem with covering my tank with plastic

It shouldn't be. Just take the plastic off when your done each day so you can get as much gas exchange as possible.

Thanks i didnt think it would be i plan on taking off everyday when not doing nothing

WHat type of work are you doing. Especially if your sanding drywall, turn off all lights or the dust will get sucked into the fixture. Also, ive seen guys build a plastic wall out of sheeting and them putting a hole in it and using a shop vac to suck the dust out of the room. Look into a product called zip wall. Its the same principle, but it has adjustable poles for holding the plastic up and it can be moved very easily. They are a little pricy but work well. I sell them to rehab companies all the time.

If you haven't had your ceiling tested, be sure to protect yourself when you are removing the ceiling! Popcorn ceiling often contains asbestos. Use a respirator! (I do this for a living).

Respirators are for sissys. I always laugh when I see guys with respirators on and there is a little hole cut in them for there cigarette.

Yeah my toddler decided to take the sawdust from the aquarium stand we've been building and dump it in my 2 buckets of water I was prepping for my water change. That sucked! At least I didn't have salt in it yet. But there went the last of my ro/di water. I had to wait until the next day while I made some more.
