Water loss/evaporation

[Supramike]

I've been adding 4+ cups of water a day to the sump to maintain water level and was wondering if this is about normal? It doesn't get to hot in the room and doesn't look like its leaking no water around the tank or sump. Around how much water does some of you guys lose daily weekly or monthly?

My buddy loses 5gal a day on his 180. I'm losing 2-3 a day on 90 and 120. When ac is running water evaporates a bit more,

Ya it's normal.I think the average loss a day for people using sumps is 1 gal a day.

I lose close to 2 gallons a day on my 90

I also have a buddy that loses 6 gals a day on his 90.

It's very normal and great for the tank that you are keeping an eye on it and topping off. Good luck!

I'm guessing I'm at about 2 gallons a day in my 56.. The 75 is slightly higher but the temp is hotter for cycling.
