Or more, that's why I went ATO.

10 gallon ATO lasts me about 4-5 days. WhenI had my 155g, I went thru about 4g per day.

I am adding more than that (about 4 to 5 gallons every 2 days). I have a 180 gallon tank with a 60 gallon sump. The tank does not have anything covering it. My last tank had glass over the top and I didn't have to top it up near as often. I did end up getting a de-humidifier in my basement as I was starting to have mold issues and that made a huge difference. I guess when you think about it 4 to 5 gallons of water ending up in your house every couple of days probably isn't good.

im up to 2L per day

1 gal per day for my total volume of 120 gal.

I'm guessing 2-3 gallons every 2-3 days for my 75G w/ 54G sump (prolly 30G volume)

2.5g a day right now on a 120g, but it has been very hot at my place the last while...
