Some 3 weeks ago my whole fishroom was flooded by a fast leaking tank, but fortunately I was in time to move the fish to another tank..... The tank emptied so fast that it was bone dry by evening.

I let it stand for all this time and had some leisure time today to check it out...... I removed the gravel and carried it outside where it was refilled to the brim..... Not a drop of water has leaked from this tank & it's been standing outside for almost 4 hours now????

I'm beginning to believe that the aquarium fairies fixed it for me..... How else????
 
the sillicne may well've come unstuck and water flowed past it... when it dried out it stuck back to the tank again and it is no longer leaking... either way i would seal it off with more sillicone and a hot glue gun just to be sure...
