Let me explain my situation.
In the past I had a 75gallon that used tap water (TDS of 800-900). The plants did horribly and they barely survived. I tored it down and now it's sitting in the storage.
I downsized to a 30gal and used only RO water. I now have much better success.
The problem is, this 30gal has no lid (because I like floating plants) and it evaporates like hell. I have to top it off 0.5gal (2L) every day. Imagine doing this with a larger tank. It will cost a lot of RO water.
So I want to use my 75gal again, with the same method as the 30gal. Would this be a nuisance with a lot of work and RO water wasted? Are you guys doing the same thing? If so, how did you solve this? Any suggestions?
