blankstreet Posted September 4, 2012 Share 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? Link to comment
blankstreet Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Oh. and did i say that my SG stays at 26 Link to comment
malawian Posted September 4, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment
Criley7 Posted September 4, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment
uaiu Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 def because you have it covered, I lose a pooton in my noncovered compared to my covered tank Link to comment
Mstefa1 Posted September 5, 2012 Share 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! Link to comment
Primeval Posted September 10, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment
