Well my tank may be short lived :(
Looks like I may have a leak on the bottom seal. The past few days salt creep has been making its way up the inside part of the trim and it made its way over the trim.

I thought this once but if you have been working in the tank and water drips into thr plastic it will cause what appears be to a small leak. If its truly leaking looking on the underside. You would see salt creep there as well.
