Painting in the same roome as aquarium (?)

[JimNAZ]

Hello,

Moving into our new house and we are doing a lot of painting. The one room I am still painting in is where the fresh water aquarium will be.
Will there be a problem if I set up the tank and still paint in the room? I am concerned about what might get into the water (chemicals/fumes) through the airpump etc.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Jim

If you cover the tank, or most of it, and draw your air from another room, you "should" be OK. Is there any way to move the tank out while you're painting? That would be the best option.

We painted our whole living room with three saltwater tanks in there, just covered them with sheets if we were painting near them.
