Aquarium Advice Activist
I just got started in sw. I have a 40 gal tank with about 2in bed of sand and 45 lbs of lr on the way. 1 protein skimmer and penguin bio. The tanks been established for about a month now, and ive noticed that I have an extreme evaporation problem. I replace about 1 gallon every two days. This makes me feel that its going to be very hard to maintain the tanks system at a stable setting. I get crystals of salt on everything around the tank, im assuming this is because the h20 evaporates leaving the salt? I have a hood but it doesnt seem to do all that much. Anyone have any suggestions?
