General Care Discussion :: Spray paint on surface of water

[mike'sfredo]

Hi guys, I am spray painting in the house and some tiny little particles seem to have landed on the surface of my turtle water. It's not a lot and I don't think it will hurt them. I'm worried but think the particles are sinking to the bottom and will get sucked through the filter.

What kind of paint? Could you find the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) which they usually have on their website? Most likely the particles will stay inside the tank and filter.

It's Krylon, I managed to skim a lot of it out. I have 3 huge filters, all bio/ fluval and laguna. I think it will be ok. Thanks!
