Ok, I may be overdoing it but I am worried...in the back of my tank when I check behind my backround...there is a whole lot of salt crusted on the bottom ledge of the tank...the part where the glass goes into the black frame..and its only on like 7 inches of the back left..is this normal or what is going on????

Hey,
It's usually called "salt creep" since it has a way of creeping out in the strangest places. You may have slopped some water over the side of your tank at one time and once the water evaporated all you had left was a salt deposit. I would clean it up and see if it comes back. It's still possible there is a leak somewhere.
HTH,
