Well i have nothing to do sooo......Why do...

[moose9]

i fill mine to the black rim level too, might as well get as much water as possible eh

I like mine up above the line, but since the shrimp crawled into the HOB, it's is staying down. Crazy little critter.

I fill it to the bottom of the black trim. I don't like the water line look.

Ditto!

I too have had the problem of a crooked water line

Me too.....about 1/4" over the 4 ft of my 55....drives me crazy, but that's just the way the floor is....one of the peculiarities of living in the basement.

I usually try to keep mine above the trim so i can't see the water, but my 2 96 watt bulbs and no cover glass do a pretty good job of lowering the water by about a 1/2 gallon a day. I have a friend who keeps his cichlid tank about 2-3 inches below the top and the waterfall noise drives me bananas whenever I am at his house.

I fill mine past the line but not all the way to the top....

 

[trotty]

I used to keep it low because i had oscars and they like to make a mess! Not too mention when thay hit the lids for a fly or somthing. I guess its habbit now and all my tanks are big enough that that little bit of water doesnt make much diff to stability.

As soon as I see the water line, I do a PWC which averages out to about once a week.
