Water going down

[jdivz87]

So yesterday I posted about losing water in sump. Not sure why but I feel like it’s more than just normal evaporation.
You can see yesterday and today.

I checked salinity, quadruple checked leaks NOTHING. I did ultimately think it was natural evaporation but idk

I did mention I do have a dehumidifier in same room, maybe that? Also I changed a filter sock from a cheap one that came to a better one, maybe that?
I adjusted the gate valve in main to all the way open and brought the Jebao DC to literally one light. As low as it goes to return and obviously it goes up but I shouldn’t have to have it that low or should I?

please someone help

What's the humidity level in the room? If not leaking, it's evaporating.

Humidity about 55%

I’ve looked everywhere a million times and asked people to look too no leaks I can guarantee that because I thought that’s what it was but no

Let’s hope! Now should I add more? Advice on what to do?

i am a newb but if it is just evaporating then you need to add fresh water.. as the saline levels will be rising.... have you checked the salinity of the tank

Don’t have an RODI system yet. That’s next but just water you think and salt and throw it in?

How much did it lose and what is your total water volume?

 

[jdivz87]

I posted a pic of my sump you can see there and not sure never measured

 

[BaliReefBox]

i think you need just water no more salt at this stage. zero tds is ideal

 

[jdivz87]

What’s rss stand for

 

[jdivz87]

Tds

Normal evaporation will normally be in the 1 - 4 % range

How would I know

 

[KStatefan]

How would I know

Volume of water evaporated / total water in system

 

[jdivz87]

That I know…. but you know of a way of measuring how much evaporated and how much I have in my tank

tds is total disolved solids...crap in the water....
