NO clue why, bt for whatever reason when I think water, I talk in F, when I think air temp I speak in C.

5 gallon a week. On my 90 it was so bad I installed glass tops onto the DT to stop all the evaporation. Sump in cabinet is all open and a fan installed today. Temp is at 81.5 so the fan should help but will likely add more evaporation now.

Christ, I wish that's all I had to add to my tanks, my heaters don't even come on with the heat and all of my windows are open...

If your thermostat is set to 25 then the heater will come on at 24 and go off at about 27. That is REALLY HOT ! Do you walk around naked in the house ??

Normal house temperature is around 22 plus minus a degree or two.

"future note" be prepared for a surprise when buying frags from derrick haha

my house is set to 22 c at day and 19 c at night and tank is set to 78 f. 90 gal 36"x36" surface area open top and 40 gal breeder sump and i lose 5 gal every 2 days. but i cant control humidity on this furnace so turning it up will help if you can. just not to the poi t of foggy windows haha

Do any of you have canopies? Would that help with this issue?

Anything covering water surface will help reduce evaporation.

You will use more water using a humidifier than you will with the evap of water in the tank just as an FYI. This is my first winter with a tank, and even when humidifier is cranked I still struggled with low humidity. Now it's way lower, so I'm actually benefiting.

low humidity means more evap.... my furnace doesnt have a built in humidifier so air is super dry and i lose alot to evap. if there is a built in humidifier on your furnace you will lose less in your tank to evap.

How much do you think a canopy will reduce evap by?

What I am saying is a humidifier to bring humidity levels to where people want uses FAR more water in a day than you are losing to evaporation. Most people have no clue how much they use. Here is a chart to give some examples.

Well your gonna use water to control house humidity anyway so might as well save on some evap and turn up humidiy 5%. Less evap in tank means more stable levels. Lots of evap has potential for big swings. your furnace does it by itself so might as well save afew ato topoffs
