Hi all, first post here. I am building a new viv inside my apartment, and I'm concerned about the fumes from the curing silicone leaking into my existing tanks and harming my dart frogs. I have two established tanks in the same room where I am planning to build the new viv start to finish... will the fumes from the fresh silicone in my new build harm my frogs? If their tanks are about 6 feet away from the build in that same room? How far exactly will these fumes travel and how concerned should I be about protecting my animals? I also have a cat, a couple other frog tanks, and some invertebrate tanks.
I know I have to let silicone cure fully before I actually introduce any animals/plants into the new tank itself, but I haven't seen anyone discuss any effects on existing tanks that share a room (if that makes sense).
I'm planning on having a fan aimed at the build to increase air flow at a minimum. Thanks for any advice!
