    All depends - do you have an air pump running on the tank? If so, it would suck in any solvents coming off the paint as it dries & put them in the tank. I'd use a water base paint since most have low V.O.C. (volatile organic compounds). They dry relatively fast & clean up is a snap. If you have an air pump running I'd turn it off while the paint dries.
