I'll bet I'm close to that at the house too since I also have 600ish in system, but really don't know since the RODI does it's auto top off thing.

I'm not losing near as much as you guys in my 55 gallon ( 510 watts of lighting) but I've got a fairly tight fiting top- maybe that has something to do with it. | |
