Looking at the Solana's and the DSA Neo Nano. What is everyone experience on the evap compared to a closed top tank? I know I can rig an auto top off, but wondering how big a diff is on a similiar sized tank, with/out a top
With a top...there is hardly any evaporation...it is like a terrarium...the water droplets fall back into the tank. This can cause serious heat problems since it contains heat as well as water. It is called a greenhouse effect.
