I think some thing is wrong with my sump. I have to add close to 1/2 gal of water to my return section just about every other day. is this normal ? i do not see a leak,
I loose close to 3 gallons a day due to evaparation.
what size tank and sump? My ATO adds about a gallon every other day to my 80 cube.
Time to get an auto top-off!
I'm in the 3 gallon a day range as well.
tank is 65 gal sump is 20 long
depending on time of year and how much the cooling fan is running, I use anywhere from 1/2gal to 2 gals a day on my 40breeder. I use a bucket and float valve for auto top off...
sounds normal to me, i use gallon a day on 135 setup
My house is dry and I have to add a couple gallons per day too. Nothing to worry about.
I lose a couple gallons per day as well on my 125. They shouldn't sell reef tanks without an ATO.
I force evaporation for cooling. My 75G display, 90 G total system loses right about 3 1/2 gallons per day. That gives nearly 34,000 BTU of cooling. With my RO/DI tank on the back porch and my ATO it's really no problem.
