HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I know fumes aren't good for the crabs but what if something has to be painted in the same room? Of course I would use low odor paint. Any advice?

I've painted a few times with the crabs in the room. Low/No VOC paint, lots of ventalation, and seal the tank up with plastic wrap ahead of time.

Thanks. How long should it stay sealed? And how tight a seal...airtight?

I just wrapped it best I could before painting, and then did their daily care the following day before putting on a second coat.
