Ok, so I think I caught a small sump leak this week. Noticed my salinity dropped from 34-32PPT suddenly, and appears to be slowly dropping since, 31.9 befor I finally did something. Though it was my probe I calibrated it and used a manual refractometer. Both said it was in the 32 area.
Today I took out my sump and noticed a damp spot. No standing water but it did feel a but damp. I am worried now that it may have leaked under the stand but I can't tell since I can't move the stand and I can't see the floor underneath. I inspected as best I could under the stand and did not see and saltcreep or obvious drips from the tank. I beleieve there is a small leak from the bottom corner of my sump. I used this time to buy the new Trigger 39 sump. It won't be in until the 27th. So now my tank looks like a bomb went off.
I need some help, with this sump removed I want to completly redo everything, but not sure if I should risk moving the tank as it has been in the same spot for almost 3 years and do not want risk a leak. I really just want to rebuild the stand as it is not level and the unevel waterline is driving me crazy. I am worried about the tank deceloping a leak after being releveled after it has time to settle. Any thoughts? And if I were to do that anyone know how I would be able to tranfer the tank easily?
