I've recently added a small USB powered air-pump and long air-stone to my 60 litre tropical tank in my kitchen, since its installation I started to notice an accumulation of water on the worktop.
I initially thought it was the seals on the tank going but after some investigation (turning off the airpump and mopping the entire worktop under the tank) it appears the spray from the air-pump bubbles popping is collecting/ moving across the top of the tank lid, collecting in the corner by the pump/filter and making its way down the back of the tanks glass. Its annoying because there are only three small gaps for the lid light cable, filter/pump and the heater.
I've used silicon around the lid, but its still doing it so I've currently got a piece of super absorbing window cloth taped to the top of the back of my tank which needs squeezing out daily.
Any ideas people??
