Hello everyone. I have a 10g cube that does something odd. Whenever I top it off with new water, 10 minutes later I find the stand covered in it. It stops after I clean it up. Why is this? I don't see any visible cracks or spots that it could leak out of at the top.

Could be a leak under the top frame.
Could be you are overfilling it.
I would fill it and look to see where it comes out.
and /or
Dont fill it so much

Make sure you're not spilling of course. Otherwise you can tape some paper towels to the tank and find the source.
