Re: Closed top planted tanks



Why on earth would anyone want to do this? When trying to conserve co2 in the 
water, you may want to cut down on surface turbulance which causes some co2 
loss. 

I would think Bruno is setting his fish up for a possible early demise. Are 
you trying to cut down on evaporation?
