Anyone else have an issue with Redsea leaking around top trim?! This is a used tank but still feel like it shouldn't be an issue. Redsea max s 500. This is after one day I get salt creep. By 3rd day it's an inch down the glass. It comes from the bottom of top trip all the way around

don't have that type of tank, but enough wear & tear any seams need attention ... water is leaking & evaporating away but the residual salt remains

you can drain down water and fix leak with silicone on inside. Once silicone cures (will say time to wait on tube) then you can refill water back up to normal levels. OR if you are very neat and wipe away excess (or are willing to live with it) you can seal with silicone from the outside. I'd pay the extra couple dollars for aquarium silicone because I'm paranoid that way... but I'll defer to others

Glad its your top seam and not bottom seam...
