I had the same problem with some of my glued joints. Basically what I did is keep adding pvc glue.It will eventually find its way into the leak and seal it. if it is upside down use something to inject like a test kit syringe. I had to do some pipes 3 or 4 times until all leaks went away. Now my system is trump tight.

Nitrates r still as high maybe around 80 to 100....
Got a day off today and tomorrow and I am already mixing around 130 gln of fresh salt water to do the large water change....
Ammonia and nitrites read 0 ....
Should I start moving my small 5 fishes into the new display tank next week after the large water change

:( :(

hope you didn't lose much else besides the tang. still stinks losing anything in our tanks, esp a fish you've cared for since being a baby.
