Another 100 gallon failed. This one's leaking along the bottom. That's 2 100 gallon tanks I have out of commission. I am in desperate of at least one and preferably two big strong men to help me take them off the top rack so I can rebuild them. I can't to it myself. At least I saw it before I went to bed and was able to remove all the fish and get the tank drained.
That stinks....you can't spot the section leaking, and repair in place??...
It's along the bottom front edge. I guess I should try just slapping a layer of silicone along that edge first, although that seems like kind of a poor fix. If it doesn't work I'm supposed to have some carpenters coming soon. Carpenters are big strong men. They've been supposed to be coming soon for the past 6 weeks. I'll call the guy and nag him again today.

Sure, you can just cut out the bad with a single edge razor, and re-caulk, pressing in the new to blend over where it meets the existing....
