HELP!!!

[snakeguy101]

woke up at 7 this morning and found at least 30 gallons of water on my floor! I hurried to mop it up and removed the sump and overflow thinking that that might be the problem but I came back after class an hour and a half later to find MORE water on the floor. I checked all of the hoses that are attached to the tank of filter and all of those are dry. It seems to be a slow leak but a leak none the less, I am still not sure where it is coming from. I do not think that it is coming from the tank itself because it is brand new and has been working fine for the last few months w/o leaking. the tank is currently sitting idle with out any of the filters running but i need to get it back online soon before my fish start to suffocate.

Any ideas on what could be causing the leak? any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Dry everything off, remove all filtration, sit and watch for leaks (have a lot of towels ready). New tanks do leak too.

^ i agree some new tanks leak to damn mass manufacturing

mopped everything up and set everything back up after about an hour of watching for more leaks. nothing. I still don't know what caused it but it seems to have stopped. I am gonna keep a VERY close eye on it for the next few weeks though. thanks for your help.

Man I hate to hear that about your tank , I have heard of brand new tanks leaking when they was first filled up ... I hope you can get it fixed
