You are correct, we get far more evaportaion because of our open tops and high water turn-over.
I run an open top in order to let light in, and to cool off the tank so I don't have to buy a chiller. I evaporate about 3 gallons per day, maybe a bit more with my larger sump now.

Yep, that is why I am in the process of installing a bathroom fan hooked up to a dehumidistat!
I have a lot of water surface though, my tank is 6x2, my sump is 5x2, and my fuge is 2.5x1

I thought my evaporation would go up more than it did when I added my sump and fuge as well.
I don't run a chiller, but my tank never goes above 79 degrees.
