PENEJANE Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 My tank has a lid on it but it has two holes in the back where the cables come through for the heater, filter and airpump. There is also two holes in the lid (with the light attached) which allows the same thing. I was wondering what I could cover this with while we flea bomb the house?? No point putting a towel up because it will just seep through it. Or will it not affect the water at all?? Any suggestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janey Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Mum flea bombed her house recently and covered all her tanks with old curtains, so I am sure towels would be fine. Her fish suffered no ill effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Use wet towels and make sure the air-pumps are off. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 You could try glad wrap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Got any foam rubber or foam plastic? I would use that to block the holes...maybe tape over some plastic for extra safety...and what the hell...throw some blankets over as well.

PENEJANE Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 lol cheers thanks for the ideas. I might use some electrical tape over the holes and then cover it with a heavy blanket or towel folded twice. Thanks again guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
