I had a fluval 305 leak on me starting Friday just before I left for the weekend and noticed it on Monday. It warped the stand significantly and I lost about 5-10gal from the 70. It had a seal that was dirty or something which created a sweat style leak. I learned a few things- always make sure your o ring is clear of debris, always do your tank maintenance the day before you leave and not same day as departure, and never to use a particle board stand again.

do you know what happened with the fx4 that caused the leak? Perhaps your insights could prevent another’s similar experience.

It was leaking where the hard plastic connector from the tube meets the filter. It was after putting it back on post maintenance
