    White crust around tank outside!

    I went away for a couple of days and I noticed a real thick buildup of crust around my top rim of my tank and down the back walls of it. I only put in water treatment and a little bit of sea salt. Is this the salt evaporating out of the water or is it built up bacteria or something else?
