I have a red sea reefer 425 XL that has some how given way to some air bubble / water condensation through a small pin hole opening in the silicone seam/seal in the top right corner of the tank (above water level), I am horrified to even think what this can lead to.
I am attaching a picture of the ingress, can anyone please advise me how I can resolve this problem, the tank is full of fishes and corals and I do not have the facility to empty down the tank for repair.
I am bit worried about this situation and would really appreciate any assistance I can get from experts here.
the fact that the tiny hole in the seam occured above the water level and rest of the seam is absolutely intact, is there a possibility if this can be repaired by using some aquarium silicon to close the opening at first and then put some extra application for added strength of bond between the glass and the existing seam. I can literally see where the pin size hole is on the seam and can even insert a tiny pin through that hole but rest of the seam is intact and there is no opening.
At this point I am not worried about the aesthetics of the tank and happy to use silicone if it can support the tank and hold it together for some time?
I have attached the picture of the leak.
