Alec Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Not sure if anyone will know, but I have a Salt water tank that keeps collecting Salt deposits on the top of my lid towards the back where the opening is. Anyone know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakal Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) According to thesprucepets.com, it says, "Salt creep occurs when the water in a saltwater aquarium splashes out of the tank, gets things wet, and after the fresh portion of the water evaporates, leaves behind salt crystals" So it's basically nothing to worry about. But, it'd still be better to just simply clean/wipe it off. Edited January 13, 2021 by Pakal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Yep, salt creep as its known. Wipe it off, it can get bad if you don't keep up with it. I have seen saltwater tanks that the entire backside is coated with salt crystals, it can get especially bad if you have a sump with a protein skimmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
