Depending on the area you need to seal, I would suggest chips of acrylic mixed with cement (they melt together) and then bond that area with it.
 
Diy junkies will drool at the pics, good luck and looking forward to the pictures

If the leak is comming from the seam from where the sides or side/bottom of tank are joined you can use long strips of triangular shaped acrylic and reseal all the inside seams with weldon for acrylic.

so its more than just putting the weldon on the seam? i need to find a piece of acrylic and get it tight in there and then put weldon on that?
