I think one of my worst fears has come true. My 40g tank appears to have a slow leak. I don't have a stand for this tank so it sits on the ground. The room with the tank started smelling really musty and I discovered that it seems to be leaking and soaking the carpet.
I've been meaning to set up the ELOS 120 that I have but just haven't had time. This may force my hand. However, the stand that I got the ELOS with doesn't seem to be the right size. The tank seems to be slightly bigger than the stand itself. Below are a few pics to help show you what I mean:

What do you guys think? I'm pretty nervous to set up the tank with this stand.
My quick solution may be to just get a 20g tank as a temporary tank while I get a new stand built for the ELOS.
