HarryPotter Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thnaks! is there a technique for removing the dust residue from the inside the glass when starting a new tank? Fingers? Or a small cleaner magnet You could just wash it out Link to comment
charnelhouse Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thanks. It is actually on a gfci that has a backup battery system. Ok. I just saw stuff plugged into the regular outlets and thought I'd throw that out there in case you didn't have it on GFCI. Link to comment
BayStYat Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Fingers? Or a small cleaner magnet You could just wash it out Thanks Harry, I was talking about the dust from the new sand that settles. I ran my hand over everything so the filter can pick it up. Ok. I just saw stuff plugged into the regular outlets and thought I'd throw that out there in case you didn't have it on GFCI. ys sir, thanks for looking out Link to comment

BayStYat Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 thanks!!!! the fine dust from the sand is aggravating. I guess it takes a while to get rid of it fully. Link to comment

Hammerstone Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I never thought of painting my tank. It's really cool looking. What about toxicity to the fish? Did you use a paintbrush? Right now I have clear back of tank. Link to comment

BayStYat Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Any issue with using a glass top to cut down on evaporation? Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Any issue with using a glass top to cut down on evaporation?The glass top will become white within two days from salt creep! Edit: Also increased temperature and less gas exchange. If you don't like evaporation just buy an ATO Link to comment
spectra Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Looks like a great start. I like the color choice! and as for the cycle just let it do its thing. I am waiting on mine also and it stinks As for painting the tank no issues at all. I had a Oceanic years ago that had the simulated wood grain taped it all off and painted it black. Worked out great.
