    Like yesterday here it was 74 outside and 17% relative humidity outside and I opened all the window and doors and The water level went down fast :) the house was at 26% humidity and with 3 400 M/H's and some serious fans I bet It evaporated over 7 gallons all day . Today its cooler and semi rainy and it will be far far less today . Thats the good thing about an AutoTop Off it keeps the systems salinity level and far more consistent and steady..

    I have MH's over my 90 and use a fan to push the warm air out from under the light. I'm thinking I was topping off 1-2 gallons a day depending on the day as stated above. All I know is it was enough water to drive me to purchase an ATO which made my life a lot easier!

    You dont have to add salt when you add water that is just being replaced due to condensation Right?
