    I am cycling a 125g at the moment. Without lights, and adding about a gallon and a half a day to top off.

    Was curious what others are doing?

    About 1 gallon every 2 or 3 days or so for my 30 gallon. Roughly the same ratio.

    I always thought mine was high too, but now I'm not so concerned.

    In my 20 gallon tank I'm usually topping off 5 gallons a week. In my 5.5g it's probably around a gallon every 5 days.

    I have a 75gallon. I keep the temp at 78-79 and top off about 5 gallons a week.
