(That is weird...)
Did this topic come up when you were planning your tank? Seems like it might become a concern. I had issues during summer with a tank on the main floor, but don't expect any now with the tank in the basement. Much better...

i didn't think it would be an issue when i was planning things out, since i have a ceiling fan and only a north facing window. and i mean, it's alberta. i figured chillers were for americans and maybe ontario and bc. basement isn't an option, since i don't have one. the one consolation i do have is that the temperature my house was yesterday is about as hot as it ever gets, somehow it manages to stay comfortable in there when it's 32 outside. and i should note i'm doing absurd amounts of top off, i'm refilling my top off bucket every three or four days and it's 25 gallons as i recall.

Don't forget that our air is somewhat drier than most places (in Alberta we call 15% humidity "rain") so although I agree 25g seems like a lot of evap it's not completely implausible. I go through about 5g per day on my 75g right now, about 5g every two days over my 72g, and about 5g per week over my 20g. This is ... I would estimate about 2, 3 times as fast now, as compared to the winter months.
What does concern me a little is that 25g every couple of days is a lot of water being added to the ambient air. Teevee, it's a good thing you have a ceiling fan, that way you can keep the air moving and prevent mildew from taking hold... (But then, I suppose with that greenhouse attached to your house, you probably already know a thing or two about controlling excessive humidity.   )
