Yeah, I really want to see you with SCUBA gear and an algae scraper.

LMAO!

could it be one of the bulkheads leaking under the presure ??

Pete, sorry to hear the leak is persistent.
Might have missed some, but did you wait long enough? Drying out the tank and remembering that you need a max. 15% moisture on the coating?

No, it's not leaking from any of the bulkheads. All four are completely dry. I can't see where exactly the water is coming from on the side of the tank the leak is on.

Perhaps the vertical support structure is moving enough with respect to the the other 4 sides and stationary bottom to compromise the seal at the bottom corners. Perhaps when you empty the tank you should make alignment marks on the outside of the structure between all the segments to record any excessive moment after you have once again attempted a new joint seal followed by refilling. If a shift is recorded it might help ID a problem.

Thats actually a pretty good idea ^

There's no movement.

well, something's gotta give. so far nobody's ideas have appealed.. but there is still water coming out somewhere. best of luck finding the leak.

 

[Nolapete]

I'm going to fill it to under the window and see if it leaks. If it does, I'm going to let it drain down until it stops leaking.

so I presume this is going to be you when it's all done hehe :rofl:
