My 120G loses water fast or im crazy

[oddballfish]

I might be crazy but after 5 days my 120 loses about and inch of water and the only thing I can think of is bc I have two heaters running in there. Maybe its supposed to be that way. Its not leaking anywhere.

i have a 220g and i keep the water at 75* and i loose 5 about gallons a week
the higher the temp the more water evaporates

Lots of aeration and low winter humidity....My tanks lose over an inch a week easy!

My tank water evaporates fast as well...I'm considering investing in glass tops instead of the plastic hood.

They lose just as much with glass tops IMO. I have both, and I don't see any difference.

True say mshill90 i lost almost 2 inch on my glass top

I think he is saying glass tops will keep the humidity from rising and maybe hurting any near wood. But idk

I've read that tight fitting glass tops help with evaporation, I just have these cheap plastic panels on mine.

your fishes are drinking a lot of water....

I find my glass tops help, I beleive it's because it condensates on the glass and drips back in... not sure though.
