    Default Water evaporating too quickly?

    I use a fluorescent light for my tank which is not very hot but it seems like every 4-5 days I need to add water because its evaporating any ideas?

    If your top is unblocked screening, think evaporation will be high. What humidity levels and temperatures are you maintaining in vivarium? Also, check around tank perimeter to ensure it doesn't have a small leak. Thank you !

    Your house humidity is much lower lower (check in your enclosure room and rooms farther out) and probably that's where all water is going .

    What kind of tank are we talking about? Evaporation in any tank is normal. There is no "standard" rate of evaporation for any given tank.
