rate of evaporation

i seem to be adding about 1 -2 pints of water a day does this seem normal . im running just one heater and last time my tank was up and running i dont remember refilling this often .

im running a new lighting system T5's and my initail impression is it wasnt as hot as my last setup . but i could be wrong . lil input please

 

what size is your tank? before i setup my ATO system i was adding around half a gallon per day to my 36

 

I'm envious of you both. I'm adding a gallon and a half each day and I haven't even turned on the heater, lights, or fans yet :yelrotflm

 

such low numbers i add a gallon or 2 depending on the weather

 

2.5 to 3 gals a day on mine.

 

Wow, I feel lucky, I only have to add about 1 gal every 3-4 days.

 

Open or closed top, Open Im assuming, and your local weather, IE humidity, decreases/increased evaporation rate, I add 3-5 gal a week.

 

im running a 55 with a 10gallon refuge .... i wasnt sure exactlly the amount i was adding back in each day just seemed past few days it has been excessive . and i been looking for a leak that is not there lol . but i couldnt be two sure figured i would ask what others were losing on avg . thanks for all the replys

 

it is probably what new reefer said..the air is just starting to get a little dryer making your water evaporate faster..just make sure your salinity isn't dropping..if it is..then you have a leak!

 

if u havea leak in your tank u should be able to see it quite easily because there should be salt creep around it, thats what i found any ways

my tank chews threw alot of water i top it up every other day its a pain but i think you will find the bigger your tank the more your water u will go threw and quicker
