Default Evaporation
How much water evaporates from you reef tanks? I am losing about 4 liters a day! I have 2x 250 watt MH on a 90 gallon.

230g - 4-5 gallons per day. Currently using one salt bucket rigged for auto top-off, just to get the thrill of filling the auto-topoff every day instead of pouring it into the sump
