Georgia. What is it that you're questioning exactly lolUm, what??
You are from canton ct?
I leave the lid off half the time and salt creep is everywhere. All over electronics that are atleast 6 feet away, inside them too and all over my plants around the aquarium. There ain't no way that's just from splashing water.Had the same thought. Only way i figure it is popping bubbles getting trace amounts that build up over time.
Possibly effervescent vs efflorescence. Small bubbles potentially becoming airborne. That could explain some salt creep. Capillary action of liquid “wicking” could explain others. I have no idea on how it could travel multiple feet unless a fan is in play.Does efflorescence happen with our aquariums? Is this where all the salt creep comes from in 3 foot radius of aquarium? Surely the water cannot be splashing that much right?
Saltpeter Is potassium nitrate so not similarAlso if this is the case would salt creep be saltpetre?
Lol, that kinda sucks. I know how much my electronics love saltwater. 6 feet? You sure you don't have any spitting fish?I leave the lid off half the time and salt creep is everywhere.

Are you running air stones ?Does efflorescence happen with our aquariums? Is this where all the salt creep comes from in 3 foot radius of aquarium? Surely the water cannot be splashing that much right?
My husband needs a fan on high in every room,so makes sense. Thank you for input.Possibly effervescent vs efflorescence. Small bubbles potentially becoming airborne.

NoAre you running air stones ?
Definitely not haha but that puffer is so cuteLol, that kinda sucks. I know how much my electronics love saltwater. 6 feet? You sure you don't have any spitting fish?
How do we know that they don't use niter in the salt though? If they used that as an added mineral it would create saltpeter, no?Saltpeter Is potassium nitrate so not similar
I had 5 at once all with the same issue. What salt brand do you use?I have 4 tanks, 180g in living room, 65g dining room, and a 40g in bedroom, and a 125g sump in basement all open top and I don't have any salt creep anywhere except stuff that is touching the tank so I'm not sure what is going on at your place. Maybe way to much surface agitation?
