Well as of now I plan on moving all fish to my friends garage. All the wolves will have there own bucket with a heater and all the polys will share a large tub with a heater. All will have a bubbler, a top, and some fake plants to feel more secure. As for the tank I plan on taking it outside and storing it in my trailer. Anyone see any holes in my plan?
House is being tented. Need opinions on fish solutions.

This is probably your safest option. You could easily bribe the lfs and say something like 10 bucks a day. Lfs around me dont have much business and would gladly take your little bribe and hold your fish.
I would asked the people doing the spray. I'm sure they have delt with customer who had tanks. Maybe it might not have any effect on the fish. But it would seem you could seal off tent the tank with plastic and tape. If you need air run a long air hose to get outside air. But I think you could seal off a pump inside the plastic and let that air recirculate within the sealed up tank. I like the idea of adding extra carbon to the filters so pull out any contaminants that might seep in.
In the end I was told by the company that I had to remove my fish as they did not want to be liable for them. I had to go ahead with my bucket plan as I also have no reliable lfs around me with the capability to house my fish. The tenting took 3 days and all but one fish made it back to the tank yesterday. The only fish that didn't make it was my palmas buettikoferi who decided that he was going to get out and pushed through the 5 lb weight I had securing the lid to the bucket. All in all it was a lot of work and I hope I never have to do this again.
