badxgillen Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Is this an informative thread or a sort of competition? Either one I could add to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Not a photo, but I would like to share something. I was once doing maintenance on large tank with a huge homemade canopy. They had neglected maintenance a long time, and there was a massive buildup of salt around the metal halide fixture. As I looked into the situation, a large chunk of salt drop onto a massive Hammer Coral in the tank. I could not retrieve it quick enough, and about a 1/3 of the coral tissue was killed. Take care letting this stuff fall into your tank. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt creeping onto the thin wires of a light fixture=bad news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) That's nothing, check this out. Thats the #1 reason I dont like sumps and water leaving the tank.. I just use AIO, but it can still get on the lid of the tank or light now and then.. Post up them creep photos, and no, not yo faces Edited April 15, 2015 by Sasquatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Scott Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 My photo is right above the skimmer in the sump, anywhere else and I clean it up when I notice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
