Water Level

[stoneflier]

I'm just wondering where the water goes/disappears from my tank?
It seems every 4 or 5 days I have add a couple gallons of water. The tank has a cover.

Thanks

Evaporation

The water evaporates, but the salt stays in. You will need to top off your tank periodically with RODI water. They also sell automatic top-off equipment -- depends on what you want to do with your tank set up. Be sure to regularly check the salt levels with your refractometer. Good luck!

Your water will evaporate all the time. The amount depends on things like temperature and weather.

You do want to monitor it or get an ATO. By keeping a constant level you reduce salinity swings that could cause stress and various other issues
