How much water do you lose each day due to evaporation? (POLL)

[revhtree]

Another topic gave me the idea to start a poll.

How much water do you lose each day due to evaporation?

Please note the size tank you have as well.

3-4g on my 180 with LED & T5. When I ran 3x250w MH on my 125, I would lose 7+g daily.

120 gallon tank 150 gallons of water - during winter it is maybe 1.5-2 gallons per day now that it's summer and I have the fan on its more like 2-4 gpd.

I lose about 4 gallons a day in my 180 with T5's.

About 4 gallons a day normally w/ led's on my 180g w/ 100g sump and 30g cube attached...... while I was holding out on turning the air on I hit 6-7g in one day but my fan on the tank ran like all day..... my 12g I lose like a cup a week but it has a lid on it which cuts the evaporation down big time.

About 3 to 4 now that is summer.

About 2.5-3 gallons since it's hot and I have the fan blowing onto the water.

1 gal per day. 75 gal tank/29 gal sump.

I lose less than a gallon a day.. heck I'd say less than a liter a day.. I only have a 10 gallon but I'm running the Marineland 18-24 inch reef capable LEDs which put off quite a bit of heat (surprisingly).

One gallon on my 55, no sump. Two gallons on my 100 gallon stock tank holding live rock and sand for the future.

1.32 to 1.95 gallons according to my Apex logs... 180 gallon w/Radion lighting

 

[Aquaph8]

3 or 4 gallons daily on my 225.

I loose 5gal every 36hrs on my system. 75 with a huge basement sump so like 200gal total. There is a dehumidifier in the basement like 15 feet away, this might play a role in this.

3gpd on my 180g+30g of water in sump with leds

 

[k2parkstar]

Seems like everyone here has a 180g tank. I lose less than a gallon a day. I'd say about a liter to a half gallon. I have a 45g with 20g sump. Run T5's and no fans. I keep my apartment about 68 degree's though so the heater runs even in the summer.

About 2.5 gallons on my 120gal
