so now the hard part. i need to fix this thing, and i got to looking at it. there is like some corrosion or something in the seam. i will get pix as soon as i can. but any way my prob would be will this effect the seal when i fix or is this normal? do i need to remove this stuff or what? and how do i do this if i do? i know its kind of hard to diagnose with no pix but bear with me.

It looks like when it was built, they didn't get the air bubbles out of the fluid. I seriously doubt if you'll be able to clean up the seam because that stuff is inside the acrylic now.

I would try tilting the tank towards that seam just a little bit, lay down a seam of weld-on #4, and clamp or apply weight to the top edge of the side to push it down onto the base.

Another thing I'd consider is getting a piece of acrylic cut, about 1/2 thick, and apply weld-on to the bottom and side and weld this piece into place completely covering this seam.

I'm not sure about weld-on having an expiration date. It IS relatively inexpensive to buy though.

what about buffing? are all buffing compounds safe for a tank?
