Your evaporation is consistent with my own. On my +200gal system I loose around 2 gal a day. The low tech solution is to open a window during the summer. In the winter you will probably appreciate the extra humidity when the atmosphere outside drys right out. I actually find that the humidity inside is at its lowest in the dead of winter even though the house is as closed up as possible. For smell you could run a carbon pad in a small air purifier. Or just enjoy it. I'll take ocean smell any day over Prince George black death pulp mill smell.
