Serious Problem With Possible Solution...

[Tory]

I have posted this in Tropical Discussion, but I thought it might also be worth putting in here just in case

I can quite honestly say i am panicking

There has been water coming slowely from somewhere on my tank since last night..I think ive got a leak. Ive just finished stocking my 130lt tank and havent the fogiest what I am gonna do. Its taken me ages to do it bit by bit and now this...I just cant afford another tank..I think I might cry

It appears to be quite slow, Im going ti try and establish were it is - again, it appears to be low down, however, am gonna have to have a look, but from what I can see, theres no cracks high up, am going to move the sand and see what I can find. Thats really interesting to know - any silicone sealant - under water? Do you mean I can do this with fish still in?...sorry that confused me

Ive just moved the sand (to my fishies annoyance!!) and there are no visible cracks...

Just thinking in the event that I have to drain the tank, as well as looking for a suitable alternative to put the fish in while a drain and repair job is underway, can they be housed in the mean time in my bath if I put the water in there along with the heater and filter

What someone did is they got one of those *HUGE* Rubbermaid tubs (or whatever), like, y'know, the kind that you put stuff in, like not food, usually, but items (XD what an explanation!!!! WOW jk); because when their platy tank sprung a leak they had to *DO* something about it.... So they filled the tub with water, put the heater and filter in there and all the plants and ornaments, and then put the fish in there and *ta-da*, you've got a temporary solution right there! ^^;

Lols, now you've got me absolutely *PARANOID* so I am going to check my 10-gallon tank up and down *JUST* to make sure that there is no leaks. XDDDDD ^^;
