Fumigating House Question?

[Fish2Boston]

Hey...I am new to this forum and I have a question. I am going to be tenting my house for termites in 2 weeks. I have a 30 gallon tank and I don't know what to do with it. Does it need to be removed or can I do something to protect everything that I have in there? Has anyone ever experienced this?

only a 30-REMOVE IT!. U CAN TRY TO SEAL BUT WHY CHANCE IT JUST REMOVE HIM-PERIOD.

Yea, with 30 gallons, its easy enough to just pull it out. Sure disturbing the tank sucks, but it's better than poisoned tank...

I have to say remove it too, the only sure way to make the tank safe is a positive pressure fresh air system, and that's a b!tch to rig up correctly, and if you loose power even for a short time your screwed...

I would remove the tank. Put all the rock/corals/fish in either 5 gallon buckets or rubbermaid containers. Leave the sand in the tank with a little water.

either they have a way around that or he straps the tank to his back
