How did that affect the evaporation of your 265g. Was it 20g before and now more?

As long as you have effective air circulation in the house it should work.
An effective means of accomplishing this is to leave your furnace fan set to "on" all the time.
Beware of course that drying out the air leads to increased evaporation, so you probably should take some measures to try to reduce the evaporation from happening in the first place, such as an enclosed canopy.

True my weekly evaporation has increased, i haven't measured it but i am filling up my top off reservoir more often.
Also its warmer in my basement now then it was "spring time is here" so i started running my fans now to help reduce water temp and i know that plays allot into evaporation as well.
