I'll keep it short, any leak is an emergency, super glue and two-part epoxy that you kneel and sets in minutes is my emergency kit plus some towels and a few small buckets, in caseI was thinking a couple of days ago that it's probably a good idea that we have an "emergency kit" for water leaks and issues if you will. You never know when your tank could spring a leak, your plumbing could get cracked or something like that. How many of you can confidently say that if you had a leak at 2am that you would be able to manage on your own? Also don't forget about a spare aquarium or aquariums that you could move coral and fish into during a dire emergency. So let's talk about it!
1. Do you have a "water leak emergency kit" and if so what do you have in it?
2. What are some things you may need during a water leak emergency that people may not think about?
3. Have you ever had a major tank leak and what were the circumstances?
I have several 25 gallon totes. With my new 270 gallon tank I have already had to utilize them when I noticed a crack in the lower left corner after filling it up. Then I found a marine grade 2 part liquid epoxy I was able to repair the crack with and nit have to empty the tank. This was a week ago and so far it is holding strong. I guess only time will tell. I would have just replaced the front panel but finding a 1/2" thick 84" long 30" tall piece of glass would cost me more then the $1700.00 I paid for the aquarium.I was thinking a couple of days ago that it's probably a good idea that we have an "emergency kit" for water leaks and issues if you will.

I have a battery water alarm sitting in the bottom of the stand next to my sump. I also have a wet/dry vac dedicated to my tank that is readily available. Maybe not a "Water Leak Emergency Kit" but ot works for me.I was thinking a couple of days ago that it's probably a good idea that we have an "emergency kit" for water leaks and issues if you will.
