Pretty aggravating isn't it. One thing I found after moving my stand is that my tank was so heavy, apparently water couldn't get under the stand to rot into the carpet! So my carpet is actually in really good shape considering the gallons of mucky saltwater that ended up on it.
Automated top off is good. Which reminds me, I have a DIY top off if anyone wants it...
