sh** i have a leak on my 135

[eh1421]

woke up this morning with a puddle on the floor
luckily my office use to be a porch so all the water ran towards the door

It has a little pin whole right at the top so i drained it down past the whole till i can come up with a plan of action

first i need to figure out where i am going to put the fish
but then what do i do
is there anyway to fix the leak without stripping all the old silicone off and resealing it?

help someone please

If it is just a little pin hole put another layer of silicon over it. It will be just fine.

hmmm silicone is good but you should drain the tank about half way to ensure a good seal and make sure to cover a much larger area then the hole with the silicone...

And let it sit ATLEAST 24 hours. I have made that mistake before and it is not pretty.

How far from the top. Give me a call if you dont get it resolved mike.

[rottbo]

actually let it sit for atleast 72 hours to be safe.. I would wait longer but on a thin coat 72 hours should be good

its a small 1/8 inch hole right below the top trim
i dropped the water level down below the hole and now will try to patch it with silicone

thanks for all the help
