does it water evap more if you have a larger tank or is it the same regardless of water volume?
im going from a 90 to a 180 and wondering if I will have to consider more rodi
water when topping off due to evap or is it the same?
More water will evaporate with the larger tank volume.

Surface area is your issue. More surface area more evaporation. Less surface area less evaporation.
So if the tank is twice the volume but the exposed surface is the same size evaporation shouldn't change much.
If your tank is twice the volume and twice the exposed surface area you should expect twice the evaporation.
That's my understanding anyways.

I evap a gallon a day from a 50 gallon with open side vents and no glass, with 30 gallon sump exposure.
