    Evaporation issue

    When I was running my 55 gallon with otbf I had to top off my water at-least once a week, now with my 180 I am doing it 2-3 times a week. Is that normal or should I look into a problem I may have?

    Salt deposits

    What do y’all recommend I do about the salt deposits on the tank rim? Should I just wipe it off or put it back in tank to level out the salinity?

    How do You Deal With Evaporation?

    I’ve had tanks most of my life, but nothing as big as my current tank. I have a 180gal DT with a 75gal sump. This tank evaporates quite a bit causing a ridiculous amount of condensation on my first floor on the windows and it is growing mold. Opening my windows is just not an option because of...

    Water Changes and Evaporation

    Water Changes and Evaporation I see all these people posting about how much water changes they do, some will change as much as 25%/week or more! But most often than not it is a lower percentage than that on a regular monthly basis. I just see this as a major hassle, nutrients being flushed...
