I have an acrylic 100g tank and with the water at 80 deg. F, I have a lot of condensation on the inside of the top. So much condensation that I know that the light will be effected if I do nothing. I am wondering if there is a way to prevent condensation from forming without drilling holes in the top for venting. I want to keep my tank covered so fish don't jump out but I also want a clear top.
the top of the tank does have holes in the back that are used for equipement but the rest is topped.
I was wondering if a small fan would help if it is blowing into the underside of the top. was wondering how this would affect the temp. of the water.
My lights are not on top of the tank yet. When I do put the lights on, would the heat from the lights heat up the top so that it is the same temp. on both sides preventing the condensation?
