    Saltwater Evaporate

    My Saltwater aquarium evaporate more than my freshwater aquarium.

    I use direct sunlight for my lighting. Blocked by glassBlock at my roof. No neon, my freshaquarium with same size located beside
    the saltwater, same direct sunlight + neon at night.

    I try to calculate, maybe around 1 Liter for 3 or 4 days. Is it normal?

    Hi Leonard,

    That sounds about right to me. Our 75 gallon evaporates about 1 gallon per day.

    Leak?

    I thought its from the leak of the sump. I check any water or drops around the sump, its clear or dry. So, its ok right?
    Sorry for my bad english.

    With 500 watts of metal halide lighting, my 450-liter reef aquarium evaporated about 5 liters per day.
