Salt Creep
I have salt creep all over one side of my lights lens, is it blocking the light intesity,how do i keep it off my lens the powerhead is so strong its causing water to splash up on it and it sits about 5 inches off the water surface.

Post some pics. Did your powerhead come with attachments, ones that allow you to angle the flow down?

Aim the powerhead at the side of the tank and under the top brace. The top brace will help contain most of the bounce-back and direct it towards the middle of the tank instead of splashing it over the lip. This helps a lot but you still need to wipe down your lites every week.

Nah, if you take the airline off it stops blowing air but water continues to flow. Its just harder to see the water without the air bubbles in it.

We all started some where, and learned as we go. Also now that the salt creep should lessen you might move your PH up so break the surface tension, this will help with air exchange and keeping the scum file off the top.

What is salt creep? Is that when thick chunks of salt get on your equipment? Does it only get on stuff when water splashes on it? I got some on a tube coming out of the water and some even on top of the hood next to the light bulb. How is this possible? It's on the other side. |
