TIP OF THE SEASON

During the winter, the heating of your home will evaporate water in your tanks faster then in the summer. Keep an eye on the water level in your tanks; to make sure they’re at the proper level. This is particularly important with marine setups. Water evaporates but the salt does not, driving up the salinity of the
water.

Freshwater tanks should be kept at a consistent level to make sure the filter system works properly and heaters are not exposed to air. If there is insufficient water level the will stop and possibly break and the heater coil, if exposed, could crack the glass. This could be dangerous to both you and your fish.
