    neat, its at the outlet right.. however, considering I'm using an ac fan, the water level drops as much as 2cm..so can't use this

    For my tank (chiller cooled), the evaporation rate is rather low. Thus the water level drop is quite minimal as compared to my previous tank which was cooled by a fan. I'm guessing that Japan is rather cold there, evaporation should be also minimal.....

    Correct me if I'm wrong
    Cheers!!

    Yes.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
