Hi all! About two weeks ago I purchased a brand new Marineland 75G RR tank for my current build being put together. I finally got around to filling it about 2/3 of the way full (to not go over the top of the overflow). After filling it I started looking around the tank checking seams and low and behold the bottom seam of the overflow is leaking. Is this normal? The 125G RR I used for cichlids didn't do this so I certainly wasn't expecting this problem. I worry that since there isn't a water tight seal on the inside of the bulkhead to the drain pipe that my tank could potentially empty out into my sump and utility room where it would be held. Additionally, it leaked whether it was 2/3 full or there was only 1" of water in the tank. I sent my warranty card and a copy of my receipt in a couple days after purchase. Should I go to the LFS (which supposedly has a no return policy) I purchased the tank from or contact Marineland? Or is there nothing I can do? Thanks in advance for any and all advice anyone has for me.
