    Marineland filter “leaking” onto lid

    Hey guys, I have a Marineland 200 and 350 filter my 75g tank. The 350 works perfectly, but the 200 is leaking water onto the top of the lid. As a temporary solution I sloped the lid so the water flows back into the tank. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or what would you do in this situation?
