When my tank was a 75 it would evaporate about 1 gallon a day. But now that I have upgraded to the 120 tall it evaporates about 1.5 gallons a day. Just thought I would ask how much does your tank evaporate?

around 5 gallons a day off of a 270 gallon system (evaporative cooling is cheaper to run than my chiller is until summer hits)

About a half gallon a day on my 55 gallon with T5s running. But when it's warm and I have to run the fan it's more like a gallon or more.

About 1 gallon per day. 75 gallon, 29 gallon sump. Really no difference since switching from MH to LEDs.

Well 3x400 watt MH with vho and 27 royal blue LEDs at full grower under a canopy can get a little warm... Then the 400 watt MH over the frag tank in the garage combined with Texas heat= 5 gallons a day
