leak

TLDR: my crocea clam is 80% out of water for 17 hours and opens up back in water like nothing has happened. Even sps stick half exposed didn't just decided to die. They are tough animals. I knew clams in can expose to air in low tide but tides runs on 12 hours cycles and I never expected it to...

My Marineland 300G started to have its second seam failure, so I tossed it and picked up a second-hand custom 84" L x 36" H x 26" D acrylic aquarium with a lovely built-in cabinet system. It has taken me a while to get this set up. I finally did the mail plumbing, and in doing a leak test of...

is this a sign my tank is starting to leak?

Good morning! I was curious if anyone else has experienced this type of leak. I changed out my filters in my 4 stage BRS RO system and now the top of the pressure gauge is leaking. I have never had this issue before, and the water pressure going in is the same as it was prior to the filter...

I got a Neptune Trident (ACM) two months ago to test for me and have it paired with the Dos to automate my dosing. Up until this point, it has worked like a dream. My levels had been pegged and everything was running smoothly.... until it wasn't. I noticed an Alk test result way above where it...

I bought a new 125G recently that has two corner overflows. During the water test I noticed that water was flowing from the main portion of the tank into the overflow section, once there is more than an inch of water in the tank. I reached out to the manufacturer and they said it was a defect...

so, i got a vevor chiller for my axolotl maybe about a couple months ago, but it has a leaking problem. primarily on the bottom. its been there pretty much since the beginning but since the amount of water leaking was so small i honestly couldn’t tell whether or not it was just condensation so i...

Hey all, I've been a lurker on this forum for about 7 years now and I wish my first proper post would have been about something different but figured I owe you all a heads up. So I have this waterbox peninsula 25 AIO that I've been using as a quarantine tank for small fish, and I never had any...

So much talk of Red Sea tanks leaking on a weekly basis on forums, Facebook groups, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.... so I thought I'd collect some data out of curiosity. I will share the results with sensitive info removed on 12/31/2024. If you unfortunately had a Red Sea tank leak on you...

My Fluval EVO 13.5 AIO is reaching it's 6 month mark, with issues arising and being resolved. However this time, I have something that has began to reoccur that I'd like to ask more experienced reefers on their opinions and troubleshoot less, opposing troubleshooting once a month when the issue...

1st Tank: anenomes attacked zoa colony 2 days later everything was dead. (1.5years) 2nd tank: had to shut it down for a move. (1.5 years) 3rd tank: red sea reefer 250 leaking from the seam at the bottom, we tear down again. (6months) Time for 4th tank! I have a 125 fresh water tank sitting...

hello, I am dealing with another leak in the overflow box I sealed up the leak between joints but discovered a leak coming from the weir bulkhead. I have read a few threads about how to set the box up correctly and had it set up that was but it’s still leaking (weir, gasket , glass , gasket ...

TLDR at the end Hey everyone, I have been leak testing and solved a few plumbing/bulkhead leaks but I’ve never come across the problem with the actual overflow box leaking. It is leaking from the bottom where the back of the box meets the bottom of the box. I’m thinking it could be 2 things...

Hi guys! A few days ago I bought a new tank, so I've been working on plumbing it for the past few days the emergency PVC pipe is leaking and I just can't find a way to fix it, it is leaking from the top of it where it connects to the overflow box, I already added Teflon tape, and the leak...

I waited a bit to post about it till i had finished with both insurance and reef factory. So Feb 5th i get a message from my GHL Profilux about a leak.... i rush home and find the middle floor where the tank is flooded, the staircase to the 1st floor aswell as the first floor full of water. I...

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...

I'm a newb. The long story is posted here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/a-beginners-story-dilemma-and-question-cry-for-help-bought-a-beautiful-260g-that-was-full-now-has-leak-after-professional-move-what-do-i-do.1005503/ That link above is the story of my finding a great working 260g tank...

(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...
