I have a 220 acrylic tank its 1/2 inch thick and it has a leak it started just as a real fine leak but has now progressed to a drip afraid to come home to a family room full of water
The leak is at a bottom corner of the tank thanks for the suggestions ahead of time

online its everywhere, ebay is prob the easiest. read fine print some ebay sellers wont ship to cali. ive heard it is sold in cali but hard to find. is it a seperation of the acrylic? get weldon 4. while the tank is drained and dry id go along all the seams with it. look up on youtube welding with weldon 4. kit will show examples of how the fluid just get sucked right into the acrylic.

This is what I would do as well. But you might need the more viscous Weld-On product if the gap is wide. The thinner Weld-On needs a nearly perfectly flush interface between adjoing pieces to work.
