Mold under canopy??

[Reefinny Verified Sponsor]

Hi all - I have a DSA tank, stand and canopy and noticed I am getting mold under the canopy - what is the best way to treat this? Has anyone had these issues?

Definitely need better ventilation. Clip on fans work well. Moisture & heat are your enemy.

Truthfully, you need to take it off, spray the inside down with a mildewcide for wood (or wipe it down with a dilution of bleach and water) let it dry...
Then coat the heck out of it with shellac....after you figure out how to get some ventilation in it...(I'm not sure what the standard ESA canopies look like, but if it has a top, cut alot of slits in it)

Fans inside the canopy make a world of difference, use bleach to kill the mold.
