Paint Fumes and Aquarium

[sundog101]

We're painting the room that our new tank will be in. Right now the tank is cycling with nothing in it. Should I be concerned about fumes or am I being overly cautious? Thanks!

Nothing wrong with being overly cautious. Jus keep the room well ventilated and you should be fine. Jus don't get paint in the tank! [emoji6]

If theres nothing in ur tank amd its just cycling your fine, but on 2 seperate occasions ive painted near tanks and jumped my ph down to 7.4 causing one to near crash, got an alert from apex otherwise i wouldve never realized . Not sure why it happens but defff vent that room
