My Tank Thread
Curious on how often you brush your teeth….of if you do it at all.
No, I’m not talking about these teeth, but the teeth on your overflow!
My tank water level is right at the lower edge of my canopy. So when everything is clean, with a little wave action in the tank, I can see water and air at this canopy juncture. However, when the teeth on my overflow start to accumulate gunk, the air portion disappears, and all I see is water. Once I clean the teeth, I notice my water level in my sump increases by about an inch or so, with the overflow now allowing this excess water to flow quicker. I’m not sure I would have noticed this if my water level wasn’t right at the level of my canopy, where I can see the level in my DT has risen.
So, do you clean your teeth, and if so, how often? And how do you do it?
