condensation???

Dr. Chek · 07/04/2006, 07:58 AM

hey everybody:

a quick concern.

I noticed that I have what 'hopefully' looks to be condensation on the underside of the bottom of the tank. Is this normal in the summer months? Or do I most likely have a leak?

thanks for any input.

If your stand is tightly enclosed, it could be the evaporation from your sump. Otherwise, I don't think it would be condensation unless your tank is much, much cooler than the ambient temp in your house.

hopefully it is evap. from the sump.
