My 30-long Brackish has been wet between the table and tank along the front. I usually put bags of tank water on the 5 or so inches of table in front of the tank- usually when thawing food. I hope thete usnt a leak that somehow wheny filter overflowed a bitit made its way under.

if you can dry it off, ans then slip a piece of acrap paper under it, the paper will saturate telling you if you have a leak or not

It comes back. So does the water behind the tank. I think the water is flowing up and dripping down the filter then rinning under the tank. Table is a tiny bit bowed.

that could be it too. I had an HOB that used to drip all the time.

I've removed the filter floss and now the water level in the filyer is much lower. I hope it gradually will fix itself now.

Fold a heavy piece of cardboard & put it in front of the bottom of the filter, where it leans against the tank. It should have a piece of plastic to pull the bottom away, leveling the top but they fall off & get lost easily. Your filter may also meed cleaning. When they clog, the water level rises.
