Hey guys. My 150 gallon rubber maid tank sprung a slow leak. Anyone ever tried to plug one of these? Thanks.

Is it leaking from the drain hole or is there a hole in the stock tank itself? Either way, you will have to empty it first. If it is leaking from the drain hole, you can add teflon tape to the threads on the drain plug and rescrew it. Easy fix. If the stock tank itself has a hole in it, you will have to locate the hole. Let it dry and then caulk it with silicone.
Crease where bottom and side meet? Got a picture of the crack or the tank? I have a 100 gallon stock tank from rubbermaid and it looks like its all one piece, other than the bulkhead.
Do you use it as a pond or sump tank? How about using a rubber liner? What happened to it that it started leaking?

A rubber liner is about the only thing you can do that I would trust, but for the cost/hassle it might just be easier to replace the tub. If it's started to fail at the seams it may only be a matter of time before the other seams start to give - in that case even a liner will not hold for long.
Yes i fix mine. Just go to habor feight tools and buy the plastic welder gun kit. $30 but sometime on sale for $20. It worked for me.
