leak

I have a leak coming off of the manifold valve and I don’t understand why or what I can do. The valve is fully closed and yet it seems to be leaking directly from the valve, not even from the bottom of it. If nobody here has a suggestion, I’ll contact WB, but as this is actively leaking, I need...

I bought a second hand Red Sea tank and recently I noticed some whitish stuff on the silicone seams. I never filled the tank, I think the white stuff is some residual salt from previous use. My questions: will this be noticeable when I fill the tank? Any way to remove it? Do you think there is a...

I need some advice. We purchased a second hand RSM 250 in late February of this year and have been modding/experimenting with extreme yet careful luck. I am a lifetime freshwater aquarium keeper, but this is my first saltwater… It also helps that I have a doctorate in chemistry. The tank is full...

(Long story- but I'm a details guy. I need some help from the community!) I recently bought a house with an alcove under the stairs that was perfect for a nice big reef tank, and a built-in look. I've always wanted one. I was researching for weeks looking to get into the hobby, and find the...

My Aquamax HOB Multi filter with protein filter (https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/aquamaxx-hf-m-hang-on-back-multi-filter-with-protein-skimmer.html) Is leaking out of the seams and I need to know how to fix it before I get 2-3 gallons of water dunked onto my carpet. It is about a year old now and...

Hi all, I'm hoping for some tips on repairing a leak. I have a Waterbox 130.4 that's been running for a little over 2 years. Two nights ago my water sensor went off, and I found a small but steady leak coming from the bottom back-right corner. I was able to remove a small corner of the thin...

I’ve had my Fluval Evo for 2 months thus far and have had no issues whatsoever. I’m beginning to become attached to this tank and really enjoy it. However, I’ve read reviews online of some that have experienced leaking out of nowhere, even after months of owning it. How can this be avoided? Or...

Just purchased and installed. Ran and noticed small leaks on the top where drain and return lines plug in. Realized there should be a gasket here, checked box and didn't see any. Also checked online and saw no mentions of this or discussion anywhere. No instruction manual anywhere. Am I...

The display seem on my Red Sea 250 blew within minutes after noticing several sand particles filling the bottom middle seam. 4-5 years old. Captured 80% of the water by the time I grabbed an empty brute trash can and currently housing my livestock and rock in another trash can. Hardwood floors...

Hello, I’m in California and finding it challenging to get a renters insurance policy that would cover potential damages of the property that I’m renting in case of a tank failure. I’m not looking to cover my aquarium or livestock, just the property damage itself. I’ve done some research but...

Found a chip in the bottom corner of my waterbox 35.1 x sump after buying it the other day. Unfortunately, I do not want to chance the risk of a leak as it will be on the second floor and carpet. Does anyone have any recommendations for a sump that would fit in a 16 x 16 space / have an idea as...

Should I reseal 300 g 8’ glass cages tank? It does not leak, although has flat nonsticky silicone on one corner and a chip in another corner. If so what type of silicone is ideal and can it just go over old silicone as long as it still touches glass? What about placing new pieces of glass on...

I was cleaning my 55g aquarium and I flipped it over to inspect it further. It seems that some of the bottom trim flexes a little when I try to push against it. Is this structurally concerning? It doesn't seem to leak from what I could tell - it's been holding water for days.

A little over 3 year old Reefer 250 front seam about to fail. we noticed a few days before Christmas that sand was seeping into the front seam, honestly ignored it for a few days. it rapidly got worse with more and more sand pouring into the seam, did some searching in this forum and was...

Last night the gasket on my canister filter broke, and the only other filtration I have right now is a hang on back filter rated for a 30g tank and mine is a 55g. Also all it’s running is biomedia. Do y’all think this would be fine until my new gasket comes? It should arrive on the 11th of next...

Hello! I was having a couple of issues with my Aquamaxx HOB 1.5 and wanted to share my solutions. Photos included. Issue #1: the seal/stopper for the collection cup is poor AND/OR the skimate was too wet AND/OR the water level rose too high in the skimmer Issue #2: the seal between the box and...

Here's a long one. Please any info helps I'll attach pictures of my setup So I might have a leak. Last night about 4 cups of water went missing in about 4 hours. Before this happened, my last recorded salinity was 1.025. And My tank has glass lids that cover the entire top AND a canopy so...

I will a Waterbox AIO 50.3 inbound and wondering what's the best way to do a leak test on an AIO aquarium? The day it arrives, I plan to build the cabinet and place the aquarium on the stand as soon as possible which will allow me to examine it fully and report back to WB within 24hrs if...

Anyone with any insight into this issue - please let me know. Just set up the new Waterbox 130.4 - did a leak test on the overflow which showed no issued and then turned on the pump. Noticed a leak between the tube and the plastic barb from the return pump hose. Of course Waterbox support is...

Is my tank leaking? Or just the humidity due to the tank? Under the table where the tank is put in, the tiles is always slightly wet, wet like when you blow against your window and it fogs and you touch it, thats what it feels.

Hello everyone, OK, so, I kinda rushed into buying a 450 red sea reefer as it was alot bigger than mine and was close to home. The family I got it off seemed really genuine and felt right when I brought it. Once I got it home and had more chance to inspect it further I notice a couple of...

I added the XP Aqua Flood Guardian to my system after the "great flood". I mounted the solenoid after the RODI and set the sensor in the ATO reservoir. I got up yesterday morning to a puddle on the floor. It looks like there is a small split in the housing of the solenoid. There has also been...

I noticed a gap in the silicone on the outside seam of a new 90 gallon aquarium. It is about a cm long and not very deep but is concerning to me. Is something to be worried about especially long term? The inside seam looks good, the tank is new and has not been filled.
