My apartment will be tented for termites!! My Tanks?

I just got a call from my land lord that my apartment will be tented for termites. I have two 10 gallon tanks (one salt and one fresh). I have put much time into both tanks, so I want to make sure the fish and the tanks survive. Any ideas?

 

What people do in this situation is completely cover and seal the tanks with plastic and then hook a hose up to the cover with air being pumped from well outside the house to create a positive air pressure under the tank cover.

You might also consider taking the fish back to the store for keeping and then turn off the power and seal the tank. Maybe leave the water pump and heater on only.

 

seal it, pump in air from outside, turn off the skimmer and all pumps, you do not want any more air hitting it from inside the fumigated area than what may seep through, best of luck I know others here have gone through it so hopefully they will chime in as well.

 

10 Gal Tanks ? Just remove a few gallons and walk them to the car and take them where you will be staying while the building is tented .

 

Good point I didn't look at the size of the tank

 

haha, step by step directions...

 

Definetly the simple solution.

 

I am reading along an thinking Drain 5 gallons into buckets move tanks to new location and refill simple as that"
I was about ready to post and boom Tangster come to the rescue! LOL

I gave on of my 10 gallons to my to a friend to get her started a few months ago did that then drove 25 miles put
it where she wanted and refiled it and the fish and corals looked like hey didn't even know it happened the next day
and now she is suppling me with Xenia frags since I had a small melt down a few weeks ago.

 

Thanks all for the suggestions... yes, it probably will not be too hard to move these tanks.
