    what size tank and sump? My ATO adds about a gallon every other day to my 80 cube.

    depending on time of year and how much the cooling fan is running, I use anywhere from 1/2gal to 2 gals a day on my 40breeder. I use a bucket and float valve for auto top off...

    My house is dry and I have to add a couple gallons per day too. Nothing to worry about.

    I lose a couple gallons per day as well on my 125. They shouldn't sell reef tanks without an ATO.

    I force evaporation for cooling. My 75G display, 90 G total system loses right about 3 1/2 gallons per day. That gives nearly 34,000 BTU of cooling. With my RO/DI tank on the back porch and my ATO it's really no problem.
