Default curing silicone sealant fumes harmfull to fish?

wrote:
Thanks for the several replies that have been helpfull although I'm still
trying to find out about the biggie. I have a temporary 75 gallon reef tank
overcrowded with corals and clams sitting about two feet from a tank I'm going
to have to totally reseal which according to my math is around a line of
silicone selant 28 feet long that will have to be laid down, smoothed out and
cured all at the same time. Are the fumes from all this farmfull to the smaller
tank. I'm going to ventilate the hell out of the room but even so it's going
to be pretty pungeant. Just want to know if I need to move the tank I'm
resealing.


Can you throw a tarp over the 75g tank and ventilate the room? I
wouldn't think the tank would pick up too much and not enough to do any
serious harm.

Of course, if you can move the tank, I would. No sense taking the risk
if you don't need to.
