I have had a glass top on my 46 bow front for little over a year now. No problems. The back is open about 2 inches. The open top, especially during the summer time, has so much water evaporation. One fish still jumped out! Six line wrasse

Ill get a vid this weekend, my work days don't allow me to see the "daylight" of my tank!!

Thank you. He's very active, and my lights are pretty bright, also mine is pretty big and loves to steal everyone's food. I'd say to give him some more time.

I have 50-60 lbs of LR and I add a cup full of brine shrimp in every week. So far so good. What was your tank size and how long did he last?

Little update for everyone. With a new filter sock vs my DIY that was old and had holes, readjusting my skimmer- seemed to take care of the problem. Only down side is now my Mushroom Coral have all either detached from the rocks or just shrivels to almost nothing!! They were doing great a few...

Yeah it is! It reduces the splashing too, I hate the salt creep. And machine washable! I'm out of town right now for school and my father is watching the tank. Ill have test thurs/fri for you.

No. I only got it on the sand. I vacuumed it all up so ill see if it all comes back in a week or two

I was at my LSF and I saw a standard sump filter sock. 100 micron , $12. Machine washable, simple so I went with this. I might have also found another source of my algae. Since my old filter sock was crap, a lot of particulates were in the bottom of my sump in the first chamber, right were the...

Ok I'll figure a way.

I'm going to my LFS today to get new material for a filter sock. The sock also helps my bubbles that get trapped in the drain, so less water splashing up and less salt creep. Ill find a way to rig it up for easy replacement. Anyone please post up your opinions/suggestions!

Wow at least every water change! I didn't know that. My sock is kind of custom, it's that bulk filter stuff u can buy than I used a zip tie to secure it around the drain. It's a pain to take off so that's why I never do it. I should another way so it's more removable. Can you guys post pics...
