I'm currently have problems with my 29g tank leaking out salt at the bottom trim of the tank. I have tried looking for a leak but can't find one. I was wondering what i could do to stop this from happing.

You may hae a pinhole leak in the silicone unless it is coming from they sump. Where is it in relation to other equipment? Is it in the back near any pipes?

it may also come from the top of your tank....
When you reach in, water can get in between the top plastic and the tank very easily, then drip down to the lower plastic. Happens to mine as well, no leaks, but I have noticed i can do some work in the tank, and have water drip from under the top plastic.

i think mykpoz is right i had a 10 gallon in my kitchen i just tore it down i had a lot of salt creep in the back and bottom i did have a power head pointing at the surface to break the water surface and a little splash here and there can go a long way i just peel it off and toss it !!!
thanks
