 Re: Water evaporation
Still a newbie, but everything I've read and heard says leave the tops off - the gas exchange is a very positive thing. If the price is evaporation, and my 125 loses about 1-3 gallons a day (I haven't had time to measure any closer than that), then adding the clean water in every day or two isn't a big deal. Gives me one more reason to sit in front of my tank and spend time with it.
The reservois idea sounds like the best one - I hadn't heard about it until the post below from glampka, but makes me think I ought to add this in to the setup. Of course, just added fish and a QT tank today - it's getting way too easy to spend money happily on this hobby. |
