Glitsa floor finish will kill your aquarium!

We recently had a new hardwood floor installed and used Glitsa for the finish.  I moved my two fish tanks (10 and 55 gal) to the 2nd floor to clear everything off of the 1st floor where the work was being done.   I shut the fish tanks in closed rooms and turned the heat down to 55F to reduce air cycling in the house (it is winter, outside temps approx 30F).

When we came home from being out of the house for 5 days while the finishing was done and drying, my 55 gallon tank was a rotting disaster.  The water had turned white, and there was a sticky gel-like substance lining the edges of the water.  There was gel-like stuff hanging from the live plants in the water.  All the fish were dead and heavily decomposing, with the exception of a gold gourami, an otocinclus, and two African dwarf frogs.

My 10 gallon tank also had white water and gel, but to a much lesser extent.  I think the difference was that I had an airstone in the 55 gal tank, which was basically pumping Glitsa fumes into the water and dissolving them in the tank.  The 10 gal only has an hang-on-back filter which minimized the air exchange.

Most of the gel-like buildup was on the 10 gal's external filter and around the 55 gal's surface near where the bubbles from the airstone were bursting.

Luckily, my black ghost knife fish in the 10 gal tank survived, though was distressed.  I assume the gourami and the frogs survived because they can breath from the surface.  All of the other fish were suffocated.  One even jumped out of the tank.  I don't know how the otocinclus survived... maybe it is adapted to living in filthy water.

Anyway, posting this to let other homeowners know to definitely move their aquariums OUT of their houses before using Glitsa!
