Okay, I may have freaked out, but I've had a leaky dishwasher before and I don't want to go through another water loss... they're awful and I would not wait that upo anyone (okay, maybe I can think of a few I would...)
There wasn't much water under the tank and I'm thinking maybe what I found was spillage from filling the tank that found some low/uneven spots on the top of my stand and made it's way under the rim. The stand isn't perfectly level but it's very close and I think I was just finding the water at the lowest corner.
After doing some research I probably was only losing water to evaporation. It was more than I expected, but seems I was expecting to lose less than I should have expected..
After draining the tank and cleaning up around it I put some water in and have been looking for a leak and I havent found a drop outside the tank! Gonna let it sit overnight and see if anything develops. If nothing, I guess I'll be able to fill it back up and make sure I'm more careful so nothing spills and I dont have to wonder if its leaking.
I'm not going with glass canopies, just a screen top. What sort of daily / weekly evaporation do other people see with a 75 gallon display and 40 sump?
