19 little bottles of super glue.

A couple of notes. Find the biggest contact point when gluing pack with sand and super glue. Next fill in gaps and glue. This peice is about 13 lbs and created from 15lbs of rock. Chisel and hammer works well for making smaller peices. I used a shallow box lined with plastic (plastic bag that the rock comes works well) this helped keep sand and glue in one area.

120 has massive leak

Update.
Tank leak has been stopped. Its a bottom right corner seam. Unfortunately it won't hold water.

Ryan Seifert Jennifer Seifert have reached out and taking all live stock thats not able to be moved to the 90.

Special thanks to the reef2reef cronies more than helpful.

I'll be finishing cleaning the tank, emptying the sump than I'll be pulling the carpet. Someplace between 15-20g water on the floor.

Carpet removed. No way that much water was going to be removed. We tried using shop vac but when I removed the carpet it was still soaked. Basement is a disaster.

I found the popped seam. Looks like bad silicone job.

How does one clean a sump. Tank has been taken outside.
