On my 150g tank I go through roughly 8-10g every 5 days. Evaporation is normal, but there are people who dislike it and try very hard to reduce or minimize it. I on the other hand welcome the evaporation and try to use it to my advantage. That is, I use evaporation as a means to help keep my tank cool. I have a completely open display tank with fans that blow across the surface of my water to increase evaporation when the tank gets hot during the mid day.

Auto-top off systems are your friend. If you're manually adding top up water that does get annoying fast. Get a reservoir to hold your top up water and buy an auto-top up system. There are lots of them on the market.
