So, unfortunately, my 40 has started leaking from the base. I cleaned and re-sealed the entire tank before using it a few months ago. I just noticed water on the floor and found the base is leaking from somewhere i can't pinpoint without removing the tank from the stand.
I'm extremely disappointed and depressed to have to get rid of everything, despite it all doing great, but it seems to be my only option. The coral is finally thriving and spreading, goby and pistol finally settled in and the rest of the family finding their homes. I don't have the extra funds to spare for another 40 gallon tank right now and I have nowhere to put everyone until the tank is re-sealed. I have no choice but to take everyone back to my local shop and sell them for whatever I can get back. It's heartbreaking as I said, and I am finding it hard to start.
I want to continue the hobby, but being this is the second time I'm having to do something like this in my life (first time was a tank crash many years ago), I'm debating whether to come back after this. I don't have the best luck it seems, and will need to decide later down the line.
Anyway, I attached a couple photos so at least people can see what I'm talking about.
This is also a used tank, in which the seller lied about its condition (my fault, I know).
Thanks for your time
