evaporation

I’m a little confused by a recent development in my Red Sea Reefer 170 setup. To give some backstory, I’ve been dosing Kalkwasser continuously with the use of a versa pump for about 2 months. I also do continuous auto-water changes with 2 versa pumps. 6 days ago, I increased my Kalk dosage from...

Re-doing my 75 gallon tank and was thinking about what to do for the lid. I'm debating a screen top vs Lexan lid from Tenecor...

When I was running my 55 gallon with otbf I had to top off my water at-least once a week, now with my 180 I am doing it 2-3 times a week. Is that normal or should I look into a problem I may have?

Hey all. I have a AIO waterbox peninsula-mini 25gal and when I first got it I bought a reef keeper brand ATO, the problem is that I have the optical sensor near the overflow because it can't see through the dark tinted glass of the AIO section, but the AIO section is where all my water...

What do y’all recommend I do about the salt deposits on the tank rim? Should I just wipe it off or put it back in tank to level out the salinity?

I’ve had tanks most of my life, but nothing as big as my current tank. I have a 180gal DT with a 75gal sump. This tank evaporates quite a bit causing a ridiculous amount of condensation on my first floor on the windows and it is growing mold. Opening my windows is just not an option because of...

hey guys. I have a fish room with 4 tanks running. I cannot open the windows because of the weather and my fishroom is wet because of evaporation. What is an ideal dehumidifier for a 10’ x 20’ fishroom? Thanks!!

I was wondering how much water evaporation I should expect from my tank in a day. I just measured it and my sump was down .75 gallons in a day. Is this normal? I have a 120 gallon acrylic tank with a 30 gallon sump. My water temperature has been right around 78 degrees. I have noticed a...

It’s been a while since I set up and I remember topping off frequently but just curious what size DT/sump and how much you loose every day. I’ll go first: 4’ - 75 gallon DT WITH 30 gallon sump (20 gallons H20) Loosing about 1 gallon a day ATK in the mail I’ve just had the tank up and running...

Hi, few quick questions? Does cupramine levels increase with evaporation or remain at levels pre-evaporation? If increase, i would then need to constantly maintain it at certain water level? If same, do i need to add cupramine to top off water cause it then seems i would be...

Water Changes and Evaporation I see all these people posting about how much water changes they do, some will change as much as 25%/week or more! But most often than not it is a lower percentage than that on a regular monthly basis. I just see this as a major hassle, nutrients being flushed...
