Leak in 180 gallon in wall

[KJAG]

Hey guys,

I have a 180 gallon tank that sprung a leak awhile back. Needs to be disassembled and re-siliconed.

I’m not going to attempt this myself and was wondering if anyone happen to know someone in the Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, or Orange Counties who would be able( or willing) to do this.

Would be nice to get it back up and running as a built I room and fish room around the tank.
Thanks in advance!

Rimmed tank or rimless?

If you're getting it repaired, you might want to also look at upgrading/reinforcing the corners to reduce the chance of this happening again down the road.

I'm in Ventura County. Shoot me a message and maybe I can assist.

It’s Eurobraced pretty substantially. Leak seems to be at one of the bottom panes. Tank was made by Lee Mar which is no longer in business. Excuse the dirty tank, it’s just been sitting. Thank you all for the reply’s. And DM sent!

Nice tank, is the leak near a corner?
Hoping you just need the one panel removed cleaned and re glued

Thanks, it was at least lol.
My stand is skinned with Maple ply and I came home one day and the whole piece of wood was wet underneath. The middle and upper sides were dry. Which leads me to believe it’s a bottom seam. I can’t tell where exactly.

Oh okay so we gotta take the puppy out and perform a leak test to find the fail point. Then you’ll know how much needs done. At least it’s not rimmed with plastic those can be a pain to undo
