Hey all. I recently put together my first WC setup up. I first had 3/8"OD tubing, then upgraded by selling my left arm to 1/2" ID 3/4"OD Tygon. The t-line is very slowly losing water. I don't know specifically, but i'd say about a mL a day.

I know it could just be micro bubbles or air pockets from the res. The setup hasn't been running more than 2 1/2 weeks. I've read that sometimes if there's a small leak the water will evaporate quickly.


I haven't seen or been able to detect any leaks. If for some reason there's a micro leak or something, and the water was evaporating before it really affected anything... something i should try and fix or just ignore until something big happens?

Thanks guys.

it could just be your system bleeding air out though too.

Check and see if you can see any bubbles or anything in the water.

BTW, where in ohio are you?
