Larger BW tanks

Dangerdoll · 09-07-2006, 10:37 AM

I'd like to know about bigger BW tanks. Do they have saltcreep problems? How big a tank has anyone gone here?

I've only got a 29g so hardly a bigger tank. Anyway, I used to get a little salt creep when I ran HOBS but when I changed over to a canister the problem virtually disappeared.

ive had saltcreap in my 30gal freshwater while treating for ICH

if there is salt, there will be some saltcreap... unless there is no splashing

There does not need to be sodium chloride, hard alkaline water alone will produce quite enough salt creep without any NaCl.
