No, i do not have a leak first of all :) I just wonder, when you build a monster like this, the unexpected can happen, what do you do if your not able to tap it all down? Lets say a leak in the bottom of the tank.. Is there any stuff you can use to fix that kind of leak? Under water repairment?
 
That is what happend to my tank :( i tried to fix it with Tec7 but it didn´t work. I guess with that height the pressure i to high.

I hope you don´t have to deal with that.

Lykke til :)
 
Cant see it working as any substance you try to repair it with wont stick or bond the glass while wet it may do for a short while but will leak eventually
 
There are epoxies that work and cure underwater, but at that pressure I'm guessing they wouldn't be able to seal a leak, it would probably just be squeezed through it......just a guess though.
