So I've been noticing some condensation under my tank lately. My skimmer lid is pretty close to the bottom of my tank. For the most part I have assumed that most of it is from the skimmer. My last tank leaked from a bottom seam so seeing any kind of moisture under the tank makes me nervous. Is moisture under the tank itself normal from condensation or should I be more concerned? Nothing drips it's just damp. This tank is only 1.5 years old, I'm just a bit paranoid I suppose.
 
Pics of you cabinet would help, how much ventilation is there?

I can't really get a good pick of the condensation but there isn't much ventilation. I don't have a fan under there or anything. I was thinking about starting to leave the cabinet doors open when I'm at work to see if that helps.

My previous tank 80% of back was open, current tank it's about 30%. I didn't use a fan on either and have had no condensation issues, but if there is very little openings then I could definitely see it being an issue.
