200g+ owners: how much does your ato use?

[Michael43]

I set up my new system about 5 weeks ago now. It's a 230g euro braced tank(open top) with a 45g rimless frag tank to the same filter. I have a 10g ato reservoir. I'd say the tank is going through the 10g every 2.5-3 days. Seems like a lot to me. I've checked multiple times for possible leaks. My Red Sea reefer 450 I'd say goes through a gallon a day so maybe it makes sense this burns 3x as much. Seem right? What does yourtank use?

I have a 300g tank with a total of 500g water volume . During summer time 3-5 g a day, winter not as bad about 3g as I connected my RO water to the sump for auto topoff.

What temp do you keep your tank at? My 300 system which is about 420 total goes through roughly 5 gallons a day. Tank sump amd frag system all open and @ 79°

 

[Michael43]

I keep around 76 degrees. I like stuff on the cooler side

My 300g tank and 40 gallon sump go through around 2-3 gallons a day. My temp is steady at 79

My tank is kept around 77 this time of year (winter for me) and can get up to 80 during summer. My top off is about 11g and I have to fill it easily every 3 days. However, I do use it for a smaller tank too that uses .5g every day. I am not certain, but during summer it fills more often.

I kept mine at 77-78 Apex show 78 and chiller show 77

I'm in Jersey also with a similar sized tank. I have a 225 with a 75 gal fuge/sump combo. I keep the tank at 78. I go thru 2 to 2 1/2 gallons a day. I use a 16 high as an ato reservoir.
