    Evaporation rate?

    So how much evaporation is everyone running at?

    Running about 1/2 gal of evaporation on my 75 gal tank per day. Yes

    About a gallon and a half per day on my 65g. Don't have any fans on it but the temp does stay around 78F during the day with the MH lights on.

    46 and sump, i lose about 1.5 gal a day with fan on and MH lamps. Temp ranges (unfortunetly) from 78-80. But its been cold and rainy so about a gal this week every day. I fill mine once in morning and once at night to try and off set the water quality changes

    I wonder what the 135g tank evaporation rate will be when it's fully running. Big Smile

    Maybe a good reason to move the RO/DI unit into the basement. Stick out tongue

    Or you could cut a hole in the floor, and drip it in that way!Cool
