As I'm getting ready to prepare for my Waterbox tank build, my wife and I discussed refinishing our hardwood floors first, since once the tank is completed, filled and stocked, it isn't going anywhere for a long time. That would normally be no big deal, but I have my current Biocube 32 in that spot (on the hardwood floor) where the Waterbox is going and a 16 Gallon Biocube in my upstairs office, both stocked with fish and corals.
This creates a bit of a problem. What to do with the Biocube tanks, fish and coral while the floors are being refinished. Our thought is to move the Biocube 32 upstairs in the office where the BC16 is located, close the door, open the window and pray that the fumes don't effect the fish and coral. Both tanks still have the stock Biocube lids on them.
Has anyone had any experience with refinishing floors with an operating reef tank? I am only refinishing the hardwoods on the main floor, not the 2nd level where the tanks would be.
