Glass Top vs. Mesh - Salt Creep

[CookieRdReef]

For those of you who have had both, do you see more salt creep on a glass lid or mesh top? I'm currently seeing a ton on my glass top and am tired of it.

I get a lot on my glass top and it is super annoying. I get less on my plastic lids.

When I used the glass tops, it seems like I had much more salt creep than when I switched to mesh tops. Of course my evaporation went up, but so did my PH. Also, temp seems easier to control. So alll in all, I'm happier with the mesh tops. Just works better for me.

Thanks! Do you have to clean off mesh tops??

You still get some salt creep. I just set them in the shower for a couple of minutes once a month or so.
