600 Gallon All Glass Tank....

add some food colouring to the water and then you should be able to follow the leak

 

[Yanbbrox]

Use red food coloring to test the seams. If it is a healthy leak, put a drop near a seam that you suspect. It will travel to the leak and then suck into the seam. If it is a really slow leak, dump the whole bottle in and then drain the tank after about 30 minutes or so. Then look for where the dye sucked into the seam.

As always the best ideas are the simplistic ones.... can't wait to see the final tank

The stand was the beast, the glass wasn't all that bad.

No nothing...just haven't had the time lately. I have a week long break coming up, so I should be able to work on it then.

I found some spray at Menards that disolved silicone. I dont remember the name but it was citrous(spelling) based I think made by GOOF off or GOOP off. It was light orange in color and in a spray bottle.

Did you try it? How did it work?

Great project! A school of Peacock bass would look amazing in there!

Are you speaking of Goo Gone ?

I have a bottle right here, I use it to unstick everything.
