Aquarium evaporation top-up autonomy calculator

Calculate top-up autonomy before reserve and maximum nominal autonomy with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use top-up autonomy before reserve and maximum nominal autonomy to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Top-up autonomy before reserve (days)

Duration=(usable-reserve)/daily evaporation.

Maximum nominal autonomy (days)

Duration=(usable-reserve)/daily evaporation.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Assumes unchanged evaporation and functioning top-up equipment. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Assumes unchanged evaporation and functioning top-up equipment.
