I have the redsea ato, i can track how many times it runs, my tank is a 150G. For example today, it tan every hour. My basement have no heating system so it gets cold 64F vs the tank 77F. And humidity is 34%. Is that normal? I have no leaks i checked. But wheres the water going

Have you checked your salinity?
 
I run .3-.4 gallons per day and keep my salinity pretty consistent between 1.025/026.
48 gallon TTV. My room temp is 65 degrees with 30-40% humidity.

Seems about right to me for 150 gallons.
 
I have a 112gallon, 143 system. ATO in winter is about 1.25 gallons a day so if anything your consumption is a bit low probably due to the low ambient
