How often do you top off?

I am wondering how often people are topping off their all-in-one closed tanks?

Nanocube, Biocube, Aquapod, etc with the closed lids.

Thanks

you should be daily regardless of how much you lose...especially in small tanks...whether you lose a cup a day or a litre

i have a JBJ ATO for my AP12 and Cadlight 25g. I go through about 1 gallon every 2 weeks on the AP12 with chiller. For the Cadlight 25 I go through about 1 gallon every 3-4 days with chiller.

My osmolator tops off my AquaPod once an hour or so.

I don't top off on my nc 24.

I perform a 10-15% WC once a week and use that as my top off. I am fortunate in that I have little evap during the week.

Is the water you mix of a lesser salinity than your tank water?
