Default evaporating acid

hey guys, ive just gone back to my tank after about 9 months of no use and found that the levels are down about 4 inches.my question is, is it just the water that evaporates or the acid aswell. should i just top it back up with distilled water and will this get me back to the correct acid/water ratio i had before??

Unless it's been leaking, it's just the water that is disapearing. You can safely add water slowly to the mix. It will generate some heat, so be careful... use cool, distilled water and wear eye protection.
