found out crayfish are Very sensitive to bug bombs. i found which plug went to the air pump for the ugf and then covered the tank. forgot to actually unplug the airpump.

2 hours later i come in and the fish are ok but the bad boy monster crayfish is in the fetal position in the middle of the tank instead of his hiding spot. what surprised me was he recovered [in another tank that has hob filtration instead]. did a 50% water change on the contaminated tank and the fish are fine...
 
a fogger for fleas, termites and roaches. southern states seem to have more problems with pesky insects than northern ones..
you set them off and the room fills with insecticide.. come back a couple hours later and the crawly things are mostly toast.
 
Oh I know what you are talking about.

I guess its okay to bugbomb the room with the tank in it, just turn off the pump and filters.
