I'm really worried about free flying particles and any type of cleaners my mom happens to forget about and spray in my room...if I remove the heater and use plexiglass on the top is that going to be ok or too much? Or what other methods can I use?
 
Scooter, Basically it sounds like he's going from this

to something similar to this

and is concern about airborne particles entering the tank.

Joker, I'm not sure if there is really any concern or not since most of already have open top tanks, I don't think it would be much of a concern unless she was spraying the tank directly or cleaning right next to the tank. Then I would think it could be a concern.

Ahh thanks!
You should tell Mom that she could kill your entire tank If she sprays anything near your tank, like household cleaners, more so if A/C or fans are in that room. She can spray into a cloth away from any such potential fans & the tank & everything should be ok. Like James said almost every tank will be open air, no cover, better for cooling & gas exchange.

If your over the age of 5, your mom should be beating you for not cleaning your own room.:)

Joker,

Could you post a sign near your tank or on your door that says something like, "Reminder: No aeresol sprays near the tank. Thank you"

...or something along those lines? Also a verbal explanation like was suggested above. Seems like that should do the trick for most family members. Young toddlers/children are another story...
