Plastic tank trim "wicking" water?
Woke up this morning to find the floor on one of the back corners of the stand for my 180 gallon FOWLR all damp.
I followed the drips up to the top same corner of the tank (confirming that it isn't the sump, bottom of the tank, or the HOB overflow box leaking) and found that when I push on the plastic trim it squeezes out a bit of water.
Two days ago I was re arranging some of the rockwork etc, so I don't know if that could have something to do with it.
My basement floor is a tiny bit canted to that side so the water is a fraction of an inch closer to the inside trim on that side.
I've read a little about how the trim can sometimes "siphon" water to the outside if the water level on the inside is touching it, but not enough to convince me that this is the case for sure.
Thoughts?
