I prefer to keep my tanks full to the point where the water line is hidden behind the top rim. I always felt that a tank looks sloppy when you can see the water line. Thoughts?

I totally agree. Unfortunately right now I'm trying to get my mystery snail to lay a clutch of eggs, so I have to keep my water level a bit low. It's driving me nuts.

Sadly I don't have that option. I have to many fish that would climb out. Already lost my long fin bn because it climbed out. Now I leave a 2 inch gap. After the nice new beefy filter pump died (fried) due to the water level getting too low, I make sure it's full. My aquarium has a lid with LED lights so no fish can jump out.

I have had an issue with mystery snails climbing out, so I used some plastic mesh that crafters use for sewing projects and covered any gaps between the glass lid and the rim. Can't get out at all. If seeing the waterline on your fish tank is the worst thing to happen today,that’s a pretty good day. I say, don’t sweat the small stuff.

It depends. I dont have lids on most my tanks and evaporation is crazy. I'd have to top off daily to keep it there... in one tank theres a an overhead grow bed. In case of pump malfunction or power outage I leave room in the tank for all the water to drain out of the grow bed without overfilling. I also keep alot of mystery snails so I keep the water in those tanks about 3" from the top. And have an adf tank I only keep half full.

Personal preference. I agree, but rimless tanks- a little under can do a lot for the scape depending on the layout. ‘Sloppy’ isn’t going to be the word you use when you have more experience, you’re free to argue your point in replies.

I agree, but I have to have it low with one of my tanks. I have a filter that needs to be mostly in the water, but not all the way covered in water. Also, if I fill the tank up too high above the black then it leaks in the back corner. I guess it just didn't get sealed all the way? Well it doesn't matter because it doesn't leak with how much I fill it. All is well.

Depends on the stocking if you don't want a lid. My ropefish especially are jumpers, but I had 1/4" glass cut for a lid before getting them. My turtle tank has to be a tiny bit below the black trim because he'll climb out otherwise.

I have always done the same thing. Now with the rimless tanks it’s a different story. I try to keep my upper area as clean as possible and few of aqua-scum.

Just remember gouramis or any type of anabantiform (if that's the right spelling) need a space at the top of the tank to breathe warm air just cause it doesn't look nice it is needed. all fish need a space at the top. If you fill the tank so the waterline is meeting (for example) the drip tray the exchange of gas will be hampered and the fish will die. I found this out the hardway when I had an aquarium outside (unpowered just with a few cold water in) and it rained. Once the water level met the glass cover the fish suffocated.

I agree but my current tank I keep below because I have jumping fish (Swordtails) and snails that would explore if there wasn't a bit of a buffer as I don't have a lid lol
It low key bothers me but the fish and snails are safe and that's all that matters to me.

its a matter of preference to the owner. i dont care how you do it as long as my own tanks are the way i like it. ps, i dont know how a rimless can be all the way to the top?

You can't not do water changes, honestly. Eventually, even with a small bioload, tons of plants, heavy filtration, etc. so much ammonia will have converted to nitrate that the nitrate will become too high and toxic to fish. That's why we do water changes.

But there are multiple different sources of water exchange in natural bodies of water. through rivers, rain, underwater flows you can't see, otherwise your lake would have long since evaporated x

edit to mention all the other different sources of minerals, filtration, friendly bacteria etc.
changes occur in natural bodies of water that cannot happen in a closed system in our house. we have to manually replace nutrients & remove build ups of things that would otherwise be dealt with by a fully functioning ecosystem.
