    Hi, I guess it varies.

    Other factors to consider:
    - how long your fan is turn on;
    - heat from your tank lighting;
    - outside temperature;
    - humidity; and
    - if there's a breeze coming in from outside.

    Best is to turn on the fan and observe yourself. Top up water as necessary.

    For my 5ft tank at home, I top up probably 20L or more of water a week. I have 2 DC fans cooling it. Another 3.5ft tank in my office needs no top up as it is covered and cooled to 24C by the air-con.

    Cheers!

    on top of what juggler has mentioned, the fan speed plays a part as well.
    you'll need to try it out yourself. prepare a big watre container, 2-3 litres, to top up your tank.

    Make a small mark with a marker pen at one corner of the tank at the water level. Top up to the level. Use the same mark for your water change. No guessing required.
