I have a ton of condensation on the lexan sheet I use on top on the screened lid. Does this make a difference in light transmission? I bumped up the lights 5-10% during peaking hours.

I have 2 IM15s. I use the cheap bottle ato and evaporation is a over liter a day. With the lexan it’s over 3 days.

The condens probably diffuses the light a bit more and maybe a bit of reflection away from your tank. But increasing your lights 5-10% probably covers any loss and then some

That’s what I figured but wanted to get other opinions.
Thanks a lot.
