That sux dude....sorry to hear that. Get some Aquarium Silicone and fix it up.
 
Well I had aquarium silicone that I resealed with, it made it through leak tests and waits to leak when I go offshore......I don't get home til Wednesday, but when I do the Tank, Stand, and Fluval FX5 with 4 days of run time are going for sale for 400 bucks for pick up only........I'm going to take a loss, but I ain't messing with silicone ever again!

Oh wow sorry to hear it leaked. Did you buy it new ?

I plan on getting a 125 but going new as dont want leaks .
 
It was a leaker when I got it, I resealed it and it held for better than a week.

THAT, sucks really bad, but im too much of a tightwad to sell that setup so cheap, id scrape out the old silicone, clean the glass really well where it was siliconed before, order some Aquarium specific silicone, redo it and wait a few days before refilling. but...im more of a..This Bi$#h aint gettin the best of me kinda guy :)
 
I had done all of that.....I guess my reseal wasn't good enough, for more than a week. I'll just sell it and start digging a pond in the yard for natives.

If you sell it for 400 than buy a new tank . I would think a brand new 200 gall from pet store with stand wouldnt be more than $500 .
