ATO as far as I'm concerned was the best thing I ever did, I crashed my first set up doing what your doing now. Those major fluctuations in salinity will stress fish and coral cause ich and in severe cases death.
Kicking off that chain reaction we all dread

Does ur tank have a lid on it? 2-5 gallons is a lot of Evap per day. Especially if u have a lid.

I have 11 feet by 18 inches of open tank I'm using close to 20 gallons a week in my ATO
In a closed tank I wouldn't expect you to lose that much to evap
