Water evaporation!

[william1]

So how much water evaporation is everyone having these days. I am evaporating 1 1/2 gallons a day from my 90 gallon. So I was wondering how much everyone is going thru with all the heat, and fans running.

I add about two gallons per day 180 gal system.

My ATO runs water from my 5 gallon res. tank so I add water to it every other day. My apartment wont allow me to run RO water lines through the house.

about 1 Gallon a day

300G Tank
600G Sump

Chillers rock.

1/2 gal a day

Keep em comin guys and gals. Imagine the amount of water if we could tally up everyone usage. I know there are a few people using at least 3 or 4 a day.

About a shot glass full of water on my 3 gallon. But water changes are every week.

Mines about 1-2 a day aswell. I have a 90g too but no ATO. =( Its on my list just not necessary atm. =)

I had so many problems when I first started where I was at work for 12 hrs and when I got home the tank was blowing so many bubbles. HAHAHA I just had to.

WOW thats alot of replacing filters is gonna cost ya.. Wait what am I talking about? my frag tank will be done soon too and Ill be right with ya.:doh:

With my lights off(trying to smother some algae) I lose about a gallon a day... lights on.. Were talking 2.5 to 3 a day.. Even with a chiller. 180 with a sad little 20gal sump..( got a 55 for it, but haven't swapped yet)

We could always camo those lines for that TO system.....lol

I would guess about 1.5 a day. 65G with 30G sump, would guess about 80G ttl water vol. I also have 2 175w halides under the hood. I run two fans to keep the water temp at 78-80.
