So we got a new dog and the dog had a couple of fleas on him (we already took him to the vet and got the flea meds) Anyways my wife is still freaking out! She wants to use some fogger but im really concern. I need some suggestions on preping the tank for complete safety!
Thanks
go to petsupermarket or one of those types of stores and get Adams flea and tick spray, spray your carpter/floors,furniture/walls, whatever you need to spray.

) So has anyone had to do the hole fogger thing?
if you spray the yard and then get spray for the house you will be fine, you don't need to fog it unless you really want to. and then just keep something on the dog like frontline plus or advantage

the directions for the fogger say to turm off water flow and cover the tank. It also want you to turn off AC. The whole process is 2 1/2 hours.
So i was thinking about covering the whole tank and stand with plastic and turning off everything except for the PH. What do you guys think? Is this just to much of a risk or what?

I would defog unless the fleas were a house problem. Finding a couple of the dog is not a house problem IMO. Deflea the dog and you should get rid of all the house fleas.
I wish it was that easy!!!! The wife is nagging me to do it

If you cover the tank with a blanket and turn off the AC I would be concerned about tank temp in your area also. Just a thought.

2 thinks, one, the fogger for fleas doesn't work. Use seven dust, or the powder. Then repeat the application after 11 days (that is their gestation period)
Second, seal the top of your tank with plastic and tape. If everything is under your tank seal your stand. Then run some carbon, you should be basically ok.

cover it with a plastic painting tarp, not a blanket.
it'll take more than "2.5hrs" to change the temp in 80gallons of water to a point where you should be concerned.
In my opinion.. you're over reacting.. just cover it.
My dad uses that plastic wrap for food dishes anytime something needs to be sprayed. Cheap and effective plus it sticks really well.
