    Not sure what the OP is looking for, this is going to vary a huge amount depending on how large your tank is, whether you run a sump or not, even whether its winter or summer etc.

    I have a 30g display and 20g sump and in winter I evap about 3-4 liters a day but now that its summer I evap more like 2-3, maybe even less some days.
