How often will your reservoir deplete? I've noticed its depleted about an ounce or so within a month.... there's no leaks from what I seen or else it would be a lot more, I refilled it back in early December, then again 3 weeks ago. I've noticed its dropped just a tad once again... not sure if that's normal. I did check in the past for leakage and couldn't find any evidence of any leaks, maybe its normal?

Evaporation is normal. I've had my Lumos for almost 10 months. Fluid level has dropped maybe half an inch in the reservoir. I live in a relatively humid environment. I would expect dry ambient conditions will favor evaporation.

It is normal to loose coolant to evaporation in open loop systems. Rate depends on how much heat the system creates (and this depends on how much hardware is connected to it) and environment where it is located.
Enjoy.

Forgot to add that you should order some extra coolant now. Formulations change all the time and most cannot be mixed.
