Re: [APD] Open Top Aquariums

["Scott R.H." <irons_21 at yahoo_com>]

My open top 75 loses about 5 gallons in a week.  My
house I can assure you is not "tropical sogginess". 
While it is moister this winter in my house, I still
put water in front of a few vents to help out.  Mind
you, I put up plastic on my windows and keep my house
@ 62 at night.  Still no sogginess.
