I was wondering how many gallons of water do you loose daily on large tanks.

i lose about 2 gal a day on my 120....obviously a smaller tank than most of these guys. But I also live in a very very dry climate. Infact that is with glass tops on the tank and 2/3 of the sump covered with glass too.

I have 468g, 375g tanks and a 150g and 100g sump...I have absolutely NO evaporation on any of these tanks. Many of my local reefers can attest to this fact too.

Sorry, I don't have water yet:lol: Been trying to get the basement ready for a couple long years and overly ready to get things going one day before I die of natural causes.

Um....Nanook's tanks have been empty for a while. In fact he probably has a 4"-6" DDB (deep dust bed) :p

About 3 gal a day now with a total of 550g- but summer is just around the corner and with all my equipment in a 120+ degree garage it will go up to about 6 gal a day!

I loose 10-12 gpd on a 1000g system. That will change as I will cover my sump to prevent so much evaporation and to cut on the rampant and uncontrollable wave of rust going on in my garage, AKA the fish room.

5-6 per day on my 400 gallon system but humidity in the fish room stays between 50-60% (same as rest of house)

I lose about 2gal a day on my 92gal... I am only running 2x96w PC (12hrs) and 2x250w MH (6hrs)... I am really hoping that I don't lose as much on my 600gal in the basement as I do with the 92gal upstairs...
