Hello everyone,
Im stuck in a bad situation and not sure what the best solution is so I figured I would come here to ask for different opinions. I have a 230 gallon tank I purchased years ago, it was a marinland (perfecto) brand. I built this tank into the center of my living room into what was originally a closet, I built stone around everything and spent a lot f time and energy on. After having the tank for 4 years it sprang a small leak in the middle of the backside wich was caused by apparently bad sealing. I came home one day to find 60 gallons gone from the tank and into my hardwood floor. I quickly rushed to save my fish wich was most important and had to deal with the damage and remove all remaining water and props that were inside...Without getting into all the detail, I settled with marineland, they reimbursed me with a fraction of the cost, but now I am left with this huge tank that is empty and I would love to do something with it. The hard water has caused a fog that I cant seem to remove as I thought about doing a terrarium or something without too much water within it, but the glass has a lot of imperfections you notice without water filled. I cant seem to remove the imperfections after trying every solution possible. My question to this forum would be, is it possible to reseal the bottom seals without taking the tank out? (maybe climbing inside it and sealing it?). Is there something I can pour into it so the bottom totally seals? Can I spray flex seal in it possibly? Is there any option to possible make this tank able to fill up with water again without removing this big tank and everything around it? Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you !
