I bought one of these today. And in my tank there was a sticker saying the water level should be 150 mm below the top of the glass. Have it running for a couple of hours and have not seen any water leaking out. Also tried how low the water level could go and I have not seen any problems with the pump for at least 10 cm below that. So maybe you could save your cabinet from it by lowering your water level just 6/7mm for extra security haha.

150mm? That’s six inches the tank would be a third empty . 15 mm? Surely , same as sticker on mine . Yes i do let it go lower when not on top of evaporation , but then flow water around the tank alters a fair bit due to the filter outflow , at correct fill line it flows around well but diff when water level drops . I’d deffo be interested to hear if any small fish have got out and if you do get capillary action weeping water down the back over next few months ; keep me posted if you can , cheers

I’ve got this tank ready to set up do you have the original filter running that came with the tank and a sponge filter? If that’s what I can see in the back I am wanting to have a beta and some smaller fish like yours but not sure if the filter the tank comes with is too strong for an beta?

I had. Beta in for ages and it was fine , I do have lots of decor and oak ts as you can see . If you need to reduce flow lower water level another inch and filter outlet will be more of a waterfall and won’t circulate as much
