I was looking for my pH test kit today and I thought it fell behind the stand. When I went to check, there was a 4 x 6 inch wet spot on the carpet and a wet spot on the back bottom of the stand. I am really worried that my tank is leaking, but I couldn't not find any water spots to prove this (my tank is brackish so I would see the salt creep, I think). Could it be my HOB that is leaking? The reason why I am saying this is because the spot doesn't start until about 6 inches off the ground and there was no water damage on the top part of the stand. I am worried that my tank is leaking and I will have no way to fix it without tearing down the whole tank :(.

The only other possibility is that the water was dripping from the bag of purigen that I have in the filter. The bag has a draw string that was hanging down about 5 inches from the top of the HOB and it was soaked but wasn't in the water. Please HELP ME!
 
If the string was soaked, it sounds like it was acting like a wick. Take out the bag of purigen and see if that helps. BTW put a small glass or bucket where the drip is making it to. If it is getting water in it then it is not likely the tank is leaking.

I moved the string so that it drips back into the tank.
