Well I left the cover off of my wet/dry for a day and lost about a gallon of water so I just assumed that leaving the cover off of the tank, I would lose even more water because of the greater surface area.
You bring up a good point Reef. This now leads me to believe that the CO release may be more important than I originally thought because it is a 45 gallon tall tank measuring 36" x 12" x 24". From what I have read, this size is not optimal for surface area and I thought the wet/dry design would be enough to compensate the CO2.
I guess I won't know for sure until I get some livestock in there which to me, is not a good way to find out. I want to make sure everything is as correct as possible before that. How about removing that filler strip that slips on the back of the glass cover? Would that be enough to promote good gas exchange and help keep the evaporation to a minimum?
I am planning on ordering my LR for a delivery this Friday after I get this chemical test issue I am having under control.
Thanks,
Bruce
