Hello on the lid of my tank there is a lot of condensation forming on the top and it is tripping out of the tank, how can I stop it?
I'm to lazy for that and just deal with it... The duckweed enjoys it as it rains. And its humid enough sometimes the snails sit up top.DutchAquarium said:Their isn't an easy fix for that. What your going to find works best is getting one of the small computer fans, and then wiring that so that you have your air circulating under the lid.
Yes it doesn’t effect the fish but it isn’t nice to wake up to a puddle every morning.Demeter said:
We’re the hinges are it is leaking though there and going down the side of the tank onto the floor.DuaneV said:How is the condensation on the underside of the lid dripping onto the floor?
No it is a proper lid but don’t worry I bought a new tank. A bigger one I have set it up as if it is a brand new tank and I will slowly add the fish when the tank is ready, any suggest of anything else I should do?McGoo said:Is this a makeshift lid for a tank that you have? And is this a "rimless" tank?
Use the media from your old tank to help kickstart your cycle, as well as any decorations you had that the beneficial bacteria may be living on. Put a few basic live plants in there like hornwort to help with ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.Fish-keeper said:No it is a proper lid but don’t worry I bought a new tank.

I can’t have the media in there yet as it is running the other tank but I will put it in when they have all been moved in a few weeks.McGoo said:Use the media from your old tank to help kickstart your cycle, as well as any decorations you had that the beneficial bacteria may be living on.
