Preventing Salt Creep

[rjdasilva]

Is there a reef-safe product that will prevent or slow down salt creep?

Do you have a micro bubble issue? I don't usually have salt creep unless I have micro bubbles.

Yeah... a damp sponge.

The only way to prevent it is to eliminate splashing and misting from the tank. Seal spashdown areas, eliminate bubbles as best you can, and keep that damp sponge handy.

Nope :) It's a by-product of evaporation. about the only thing you can do is try to prevent splashing or bubbling which will accelerate your salt creep

Yeah, I guess that’s the problem I have on one of my tanks where I’m using an Aqua Clear filter. The splashing and micro bubbles are escaping the cover. I’ll have to rethink my filtration method for this tank (24x18). Have been thinking of building a drop-in AIO filtration, like those used in IM AIO tanks.
