IT is about 15 feet from a window but right in the opening of our stairway to the main floor. If you look at my son's build thread (FishinGoalie) you can see the photos of where the tank sits in relation to the main floor/stairway/windows, etc.

I also have a phone call in to the restoration company to see if they have dealt with fish tanks before. Maybe they have a way to isolate it and almost tent it...

And our sump sits in a fish room directly behind the tank. It has a door but certainly wouldn't be air tight.

I would seal the top of the tank the best you can (you could use some poly and a good tape), and leave a window open for air circulation. I think you'd be fine.

You could also make a tarp-like thing over the tank, seal it to the back wall and floor the best you can.

I think i'd be more worried about particles getting into the tank, than chemicals in the air.

Thanks everyone. I'll ask my restoration company as I am certain they have dealt with this before. And if it's too uncertain we will wait to do the floors. I think the tenting and fresh air sounds like a good idea.
