covers are a pain in the butt ....i keep it under the table....like you said keep it out of the light
chudderhead Reviewed by chudderhead on . no covers on res? anyone know? ok so i was using covers on my res for a while and it was just a pain so this last time around i tried using no covers. here's the situation.. 30 gal res under my ebb table so its not getting any direct light.. i tried both methods with and without a cover and i didnt notice any difference really but im wondering if its worse for the plant to have no cover because i know about the algae growth.. what i've been doing also is using a lot of fresh water every single day and i run 4 oxygen stones Rating: 5
