Do you have a lid over it? Glass tops will slow down the condensation.

do you hav a top to your tank ? what tempriture is the water? do you have lots of lights

no i dont have a lid, i made my light (less expensive, and works juts the same) i guess the only downside to making on is that it doesnt cover the whole top of the tank. the temp. of the water is about 82 degrees

The only way to slow down the condensation is use a lid. Actually condensation isn't too bad, just add a little water (dechlorinated) every day. My large tank loses about a gallon a week and I just top it up every two days with a little water.
