Hondachico said:I'm doing good man still haven't put some nice live rock in there but I'm going to it now have a snail and a hermit crab in there, I'm getting some cheato from my lfs maybe 2mm, how often do you put water in the sump?
Hondachico said:Yea that sounds about right for me I just do a bigger quantity every week
Hondachico said:Lol i still don't have a top, I'm getting my skimmer today so I should see how I can customize a top
Flreefer said:Hey guys, just so you know ahead of time.
Tops will require regular cleanings for light penetration, will trap heat from your lights, and reduce the gas exchange of your tank.
I have tops for mine and don't use them, I would rather have more evaporation, than the alternative.
If you need tops because of "jumpers", one of the screen tops would be better for you.
Just some friendly advice!

Reefpete said:I get some bubble too that hit my light but I guess if I put screen top on it should help it out.....
