It varies from tank to tank (humidity, temperature, etc.). My tank do 10 gallon every week so yours is nothing compared to mine (mine is a 70 gallon).

Your tank is pretty typical. Really the only thing you can do is put glass or acrylic covers on your tank top and sump but this can cause other problems: reduced light to corals, more cleaning to do, potentially reduced air water contact area.

Most reefers just deal with it and rig up an auto top off system that draws from a reservoir that you only have to refill maybe once per week.

Personally my system loses between 6-8 litres every day!

this weekend i added a 90 degree elbow to my protein skimmer outtake and its seems to be working, i have noticed less salt creep and less air bubbles in the sump, i though of adding a filter sock on the down pipe to further help reduce salt creep
