Question… I’ve been thinking about getting an ATO put together. For a total system volume of 285 gallons, (or about 250 gallons of actual water volume after accounting for rock) how large of a reservoir should I go with?
its really about surface area of water exposed to the air and amount of agitation, and ambient humidity that determines evaporation.
I went through 5 gallons a day sometimes till I put glass over my DT.

Also depends how often you want to/can top it off. I go through 4-5 gal/week in my 4', 55g. I use a regular 5 gal bucket for my reservoir and switch it to a blue 16g container when I'm going to be away from the tank for 1-2 weeks.
dont you keep your house uuber cold?

Where he’s at and being that it’s summer still, it’s probably close to 80 out…., 80 below that is…. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
Ok I guess that’s a little silly, it’s probably 10 below up there. They have the midnight sun. All jokes aside it’s on my bucket list to see the midnight sun.

I’d probably live in Alaska myself if it wasn’t so expensive there. Then again I love Florida which is where Kathy and I got married 11 years ago.
