260 gallon tank, eurobraced top with eggcrate covers over the open areas. Sump is fully enclosed by the stand and also has a lid.
I am in the final stages of repairing flood damage and I have to sand some drywall. It’s in a separate room from the tank, but both are in my basement. That room also currently does not have a door. I know there’s things I can do to reduce the dust and cover the tank while actively sanding and during cleanup. But I would like to know how big of a problem it will be if some dust gets in the water.
As for the other dust, I live in a town that is a dustbowl in the best of times, but this year it’s particularly bad. Between the new rock quarry less than a kilometre from my house and the entire town, especially in my area, covered with a thick layer of fine river sediment, it’s quite bad. Tank has been up only a couple weeks and there’s already a good buildup on top of it. Is this going to end up causing a problem with water quality/nuisance algae? It’s hard to tell at the moment as I am undergoing the ugly stages from all the new rock.
