topless tank

[mmohamma]

Hi everyone,

Today, I had one of "those" ideas and I wanted to pass it along to the experts to see what you have to say.

I live in Denver CO, and the humidity is extremely low throughout the year (avg <45%). I have a 65G freshwater tank in my living room for 4 years and it was always covered. So I was thinking of removing the top and let the air absorb some of the moisture. The downside is of course the evaporation of tank water, but I can fix that by adding a auto-top-of.

I don't have any fish that is known to jump out. What do you guys think?

Can anyone recommend a good auto-top-of brand?

Thank you,

Might depend on water changes is only thought ie evaporation will increase mineral content of remaining water.
