Thanks for replying

I always keep the water at .023 and the temp at 78 consistently, even though the tank is one gallon it employs a method of top off restriction.

Any one gallon reef without top off control would require daily addition of fresh water...notice the lid and how it is pressed onto the inner diameter of the vase...this makes a partial seal

the salinity variation is .023 - .0245 every 4-5 days depending on ambient humitidy! so every four days I add about 1.5 ounces of distilled water.

this one gallon vase goes longer in between top offs than a tank 100x its size.

Consider this article, it shows a sealed reef aquarium that does not evaporate at all

same water change schedule, all of the water is changed once a week

this article shows the sealed reef and the build steps for the vase reef
