   I have two fish tanks, one 20 gallon fresh water and one 40 gallon   
   salt water.  I add about 2 gallons of fresh water to my saltwater tank   
   every few days.  I do not have to add freshwater to my freshwater tank   
   but once a month when I clean it.  The tanks are pretty much side by   
   side in the same room so they endure the same temperature daily.  Why   
   would so much water evaporate from the salt water tanks.  Anywho, any   
   feedback is greatly appreciated.

   If salt is xtallizing on the sides of the salt tank, this may act as a   
   wick, so speeding evaporation.
