Forgot the waste water and top off 450 waste a month 50 top off total 500
3061 +500


Total= 3561 gallon

As mentioned several times, we aren't counting waste water. Only water that actually goes into our tanks. So, deducting 450 gallons from our total. Our new Grand Total is:

3519

65 gallon tank

I add approximately 5 gallons of top off water a week.
I do approximately 5 gallons worth of water changes per week.

5 gallons per week topoff +
5 gallon per week WC = 10 gallons of water per week
=> 40 gallons per month

New Grand total = 3559

High time to revive this thread. If you haven't participated, please do! We're trying to find out just how much water R2R members put in our tanks. Our current total is:

3639 Gallons.

Please use only water that enters your tank, do not count waste water.

Please add your total to the grand total, posting a new grand total, so we can keep a running tally!

Example:

XX gallons used to do water changes
+Previous grand total

2 gallons of Evap and 2 gallons auto water change daily.

So about 120 monthly gallons

3639+120 =

3759 gallons

Add up all of the water that goes into your tanks. Do NOT count waste water from RO/DI.

So, Top off water and water change water. Add your amount to the previous grand total, listing your totals, and post the New Grand Total!
