    Hi everyone I recently got rid of my hood for my 28g nano cube and hung a LED fixture above it exposing the top of my tank. The lights work amazing but my problem is that the evaporation is out of control now and my salinity is constantly changing. Is there any way I can control this evaporation on my tank?

    Reduce surface agitation...but really it just sounds like you need an ATO

    ATO is by far the best addition I did to my cube.

    I used the JBJ ATO, you can find it at Marine Depot.
