Should I hit the panic button?

I noticed a salt trail on the front of my aquarium a week or two ago, but assumed that it was my Foxface spitting water out of the tank again. I came home this evening, cleaned the glass and noticed a drip at the top of the tank. I dried it (again thinking that it was either the Foxface or the Sohal splashing water out). As I dried the drip, I realized that the water is coming from under the bracing around the top of the tank. This is in the dead center of the front of the aquarium.

Should I be freaking out right now? Other than the annoyance of a constant salt trail on the front glass, are there other concerns of cracking, leaking etc? The bracing itself doesn't seem to be cracked or chipped, it appears that it has just pulled away from the glass.

Can you get a picture? Either way. I would get it checked out. Do you know if it's a crack on the glass that's causing it to leak? With all the leaky tanks going on lately. I wouldnt take the chance. Get it fixed if you can while you still have the time.

I had this happen on my 75g, I had my overflow box to high, after I lowered my overflow box the drip stopped. I hope your problem is that easy to fix.

Actually....I think you are on to something. My overflow was a tad backed up :doh: and needed to be cleaned. This caused the water level to rise, thus causing my DRIP. :thumbs:

That is good news. Also a less costlier solution.
