blankstreet Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Is it weird that i never have to top off my tank. It's been up for a while and it does have a hood so maybe that stops the eval.? Is it me or does this happen to others?
blankstreet Posted September 4, 2012 Author Posted September 4, 2012 Oh. and did i say that my SG stays at 26
malawian Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 i had barely any evap when i had my BC 29 all closed up, but as soon as I had to leave the doors open to keep it cool I lost plenty of water.
Criley7 Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Having a lid is definitely why you have no evap. I lose about 1-2 gallons a day of evaporation. So I wish I had a lid. Haha
uaiu Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 def because you have it covered, I lose a pooton in my noncovered compared to my covered tank
Mstefa1 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 A complete hood may stop evap however it would also limit gas exchange. Your tank may also cook too. I have a glass over my tank but the back compartments are exposed as well as my aquafuge in the rear. AC & dry heat drink my tank to to the point where top offs become a nasty chore. love my Tunze ATO!
Primeval Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Evaporation is a good thing for appropriate gas exchange. Is this your nano-cube that you are talking about? Are the fans working okay? A good number of people update the stock fans.
