Hi,
I walked in with water on my floor. And it seems that water is coming out of the bottom panel. I will keep you guys posted.
 
Clean it up quickly to reduce damage -- it can be seriously bad. Like "make a claim on your home owners insurance" bad.

Do you have bins you can move your rock and corals into? Doesn't need to be pretty. The sooner you can drop the water level in the tank the better.

All water has been removed under, behind and in front of the tank. No big leaks for right now. My skimmer was leaking at the time and I found water in the wall behind it, I then went to the side of the tank and found water seeping through the bottom. My dad told me it could be water making it's way around from one end of the tank to the other. It could be a mix of cohesion and adhesion making it's way around one side of the tank. However all water is cleaned up now.
