Oh no, did you get it new? hopefully the warranty will pay up. has it caused much damage?Well things have gone on hold indefinitely. Woke up this morning to find my tank leaking. Lots of money down the drain. Super disappointed.

Unfortunately no. I bought it off of Craigslist. Shame on me I guess. When I water tested it it was fine for 2 days. Now with water in it for just under a month it started leaking.Oh no, did you get it new? hopefully the warranty will pay up. has it caused much damage?
So sorry to hear this! Hopefully you can find another tank with the same dimensions as a replacement so you don't have to start from complete scratch.
How bad is the leak?
Definitely the tank. Plumbing doesn’t run near where the water was. Also felt it on the outside of the stand running down it.Are you sure its the tank and not any plumbing or anything else?
Thanks!The scape looked great! Hope you figure the tank out soon.
That's what children are for lol!how do you plan on getting behind the tank to do any maintenance? or if freak accident like fish jumps out back there?
Sorry to hear about the tank. Perhaps set it up in garage or outside and look for the leak? Just to be sure.Thanks!
Gutted for you, are you going to try and repair it or look out for another?Unfortunately no. I bought it off of Craigslist. Shame on me I guess. When I water tested it it was fine for 2 days. Now with water in it for just under a month it started leaking.
If you can find the leak location, will be an Easy Fix !!Well things have gone on hold indefinitely. Woke up this morning to find my tank leaking. Lots of money down the drain. Super disappointed.
I’m going to pick one up from Petco at 50% off. That way I have a warranty to fall back on.Gutted for you, are you going to try and repair it or look out for another?
My only issue is that with it being a used tank I may fix one spot only to have another pop up in another month or two. Petco has 75’s for 50% off right now so I’m going to grab one there. That way I at least have a warranty.If you can find the leak location, will be an Easy Fix !!
You will have to cut away all the silicone in the area and clean it away thoroughly. Wipe clean with alcohol and using aquarium sealant such as aqueon, apply a generous bead of sealant down the glass and spread evenly with fingertip or even a popsicle stick and allow to dry at least 24-36 hours. Leak test again and if done properly will not leak and you will have a permanent repair in which you can continue your set up of tank
THIS IS A LOT EASIER TO DO THAN IT SOUNDS
Are they reef ready ?My only issue is that with it being a used tank I may fix one spot only to have another pop up in another month or two. Petco has 75’s for 50% off right now so I’m going to grab one there. That way I at least have a warranty.
