By the end of the week on mine, there is some squirting, in fact you can hear it when you open the cabinet. That's because of the cross-cuts that I made (rudimentary slot tube, done with a dremel - haven't had time to replace it). Also the slot is just a hair longer than the screen, and I put a cross-cut too close to the end. The crosscuts actually promote algae growth into the tube IMO so as it grows into it, the volume of water gets pushed to the end of the tube, that's always where the squirting is on mine.
If you're concerned, then find the plastic sheet like I posted the picture of and punch holes it in, and fit it so that it 'hugs' your screen at the top. This will block the light from the screen at the top, preventing the growth into the tube, and reducing the potential for squirting.
