Tank with a leak.

[patoloco]

Just wanted to share this: I came home on friday night and there was water under my tank. Seems like the bottom of my tank bowed in an edge where I put a thivk layer of gravel and the silicone could not hold. Too bad.

Well, currently my tank is empty and my rays are living in a 50 gallon. Hope to have my tank running again wednesday.

Nothing to do here, just wanted to share.

Hi, a few years ago the same thing happened to me also ,but my 100GAL. tank was almost empty,so I went and bought 2 Rubber maid plastic containers to hold the fish and plants ,then Striped the tank ,separated all 4 sides ,cleaned all the silicone,,and put it back together,it took me 2 weeks ,every day after work I spent my evenings fixing this tank,but I must say,after every thing was done,I was so proud of my achievement,so far the tank is still holding.
good luck.
Ken.

Tank is back. After an emergency repair season, not the tank is filled and shows no sign of leaks. Getting light of a dark situation, I fixed the stand (the culprit of the leak) and redesigned my filter return bar. Now it's underwater, so I have no sprayer bar splashing.

Tonight I will reseed the filter and start adding my fish. Hopefully everything will be normal on weekend.
