Wife scheduled furniture cleaning

[Mightyreefer87]

My wife scheduled a company to come out and clean our furniture. Should I cover my aquarium just to be safe? If so how long?

Always assume that anybody coming into your house to do any work is an idiot until proven otherwise. I have heard too many horror 'bug guy nuked my tank' stories to count. Cover the tank with a sheet until they leave so they don't accidentally spray or squirt cleaner into the tank.

Thanks, least I know I'm not being Ridiculous

I would cover also.maybe a couple garbage bags or thin plastic drop cloth for painting and tape the edges with blue painters tape. Comes off easy.

I bought a huge BBQ grill cover for that reason. Its thick and is water proof

Almost as important as covering the tank, make sure any airpumps you have running are turned off. Remember, if you can smell it, the air pump can too and it pumps it into the water. Air out the room or house before starting the pumps back up. YOU can also surround the pump(s) with a carbon filter pad to act as an air filter "just to make sure"

Hope this helps

Luckily no air pumps needed for this set up, I'll have to use drop plastic since its a 125gal tank. Thanks everyone for helping me out.

IMO... Careful using plastic, pH may drop fast. I would use something that can "breath" while still being able to stop inadvertent sprays of chemicals.

That's why I do my own work around the house.

 

[Mightyreefer87]

I do all the work, there was no way i was going to b able to clean the furniture though. In three years my son has literally destroyed it all. Lol

Had to hire professionals to come out.

They've come and gone and everything is just as it was.



How I covered it.

 

[Stlrockguy]

You sure did have it covered. Yea I don't have kids.

 

[Mightyreefer87]

I had to make sure. Lol


Better to be over prepared in IMO.

 

[Mightyreefer87]

Still fanning the smell out of the room.


Till its gone i will leave the plastic up.

 

[blert]

Heh! I have the same fan blades. Mine are dark cherry though.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program...
