    I believe I'm at about a couple gallons/day on my 120. I do have a ton of air moving through the canopy across the top of the water.

    Kroykee! I add around 1 gallon every 4 days to my 29!
    What a difference. I have a lot of flow but still...

    Upon further inspection...

    I guess 2 cups a day x 7 is 14 cups, just 2 cups shy of a gallon.

    I believe I'm using about 4 cups per day.

    So I'm using twice the amount. That glass top really makes a difference!

    Wonder if there is any discernible difference in the gas exchange as far as the inhabitants are concerned... :dizzy:

    Nope. Been in the hobby for over 38 years now, and I've had a full hood or glass cover on all my tanks. Just gotta keep it clean and make sure it's not completely airtight.
