I've a couple of small nano tanks with flat lids. The water collects on them but doesn't run off as effectively as a corrugated style tray it does when you open the lid and close it on them. You won't stop evaporation completely just slow it up some so you can enjoy your fishy friends more and...

It's similar but a lot thinner and cheaper than greenhouse not to mention smaller in size. But least it gives you an idea.

Hi all, Does anyone know how to upload an avatar from the iPhone app or do I have to log in on a pc ? I've managed to upload a couple of pictures in general but can't figure this one out.

Watching tv last night I heard a strange squeak noise, first off I thought it was a dodgy impeller but soon realised it was happy frogs. 

Heres some pics of the condensation lid I just put on mine, I need to trim a little for a flush fit but it does the job for the time being.

Just resting on the top. There are gaps all round so air still circulates and holes for cables filter pipes feeding access etc. The point is to reduce evaporation. You'll not stop it completely nor would you want to the tray catches the majority as it evaporates straight up as heat rises stops...

You can use the tray underneath an existing lid they have a lip round the edge of the tray for that. Trim a little at a time, if it takes a while a tidy job is much better than a rushed half assed hatchet job. I'm guilty of the latter in my early days. (dont forget to cut a hole for feeding...

Mark, The condensation lid I refer to is made by algarde it's a heavy duty clear plastic that you can trim to shape with a sturdy pair of scissors, you can trim them to make a snug fit but unless you work for NASA you won't get completely sealed. You wouldn't want to anyway. The moulding of...

Hi all. What's the recommended time for lights to be on in a planted and unplanted tank?

You can buy a condensation lid made from plastic that you trim to size with scissors that's easier than glass and cheaper.

It wouldn't by any chance be an aqua one tank would it? Reason I ask is I've got 2 large tanks and the design flaws with the above water filtration dumping water down the back I scrapped those for internal filters on one and an external fluval for the other.

Gotcha, you mentioned goldfish. My African Dwarf frogs even if they tag teamed wouldn't overcome a goldfish unless a baby. 

Brenda are you referring to claw or dwarf frog?

Frozen Bloodworm mainly. They sometimes have a nibble on flake for the fish but mainly Bloodworm.

Hi Brenda, I'm not entirely sure, one thing I've been doing recently is a dose of aquarium salt in all my tanks. 1g per litre as a preventative after a dose of whitespot in my main tank, I've continued this in my Dwarf frog tank and shrimp tank without any adverse effect.
