Caryl Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I have spray painted the backs and sides of my tanks with no problems. I have also had the lounge redecorated (paint, wallpaper paste and carpet glue smell) around the fish tanks with no problems from fumes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I think water based based paints are ok but be wary of oil based. Cover the tank with a blanket and either turn the filter off or have the pump venting into another room if you want to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
