In Florida I always leave my fresh water tank full so as to minimize evaporation. The water in FL is very hard and since you can't drain it out completely what is left will evaporate and leave mineral deposits that can eventually hurt pump seals, etc. By leaving it full, especially during hurricane season, it gives me water for emergencies and the lack of free air in the tank minimizes evaporation. I guess the extra weight might help with the high winds if a hurricane comes close as well. I use city water, that is already chemically treated, so I do not have to sterilize my tank since that is done each time I fill the tank.
