Help on type of sealant

[doods]

Hello there guys, I'm having problem with my tank because its dripping from the bottom corners.
Is there any type of sealant that will seal even if theres water coming out? So that I dont have to drain and transfer my fish.
Any idea of type of sealant that will work from outside the tank?

it would be better to reseal it from the inside. you can use the slicone from you local fish store...is the tank glass or acylic?

Knowing if its Glass or Acrylic will help but don't waste your money on the stuff from the LFS. If you have a caulking gun go to your local home improvement store and buy a tube of GE silicone I Window and Door. Its MUCH cheaper than the LFS stuff. Other brands will work to if they are clear 100% silicone with no anti mold or mildew inhibitors in it. I suggested the GE because its what me and a lot of other people used with great success.

Agreed. It is best to drain your talk, I'm not sure if sealing it from the outside is a healthy solution.

the tank is acrylic, so do I need to use a different type of sealant for an acrylic tank?
My problem is that I dont have any spare tank to put my arowana in so I was wondering if there is some type of sealant that work on wet surface . That would be much easier for me to seal the corner of the tank where water is dripping.

I think you are going to have to drain it, yes you wont use silicone you will use acrylic cement i believe.
