Well, I am getting my floors done - not in the room that my tank is in, but the room I need to access it. Have the ATO set and things looked good when I left it a couple of days ago.....
Can't wait to get back in there tomorrow and see that everything lived.

The room is taped off, but I am sure the stain and varathane fumes will drift in there anyhow.  Hope that the carbon I threw in there prevents any major mishaps.  We shall see....

Uh oh...why turn off skimmer?  Wouldn't normally overflow in that short of a time.

so it doesnt suck in the fumes.

Wish I had thought of that with the skimmer!

In any case, no harm done.  All inhabitants seem to have survived - maybe the charcoal sucks up whatever junk I was putting into the water with the skimmer.

WHEW!
