tank is leaking...NEED HELP!!

Then clean the seams with rubbing alcohol.
Tape off the size of the bead you want to add (painter's tape works well) and apply the silicone. Use a plastic spoon to smooth it out.

Great tip. I have to try the tape method.

How bad is it leaking? While I agree that the "best" course of action is to tear the tank down and redo the silicone, if we're talking about a steady drip to small stream I'd just empty the tank, mak sure its dry and smear some more silicone in the leaking area.

I bought a 55 one time that dripped from 1 corner. I used about a nickle sized drop of silicone in the area of the leak and it held for years until I got rid of that tank.

If its leaking fast, then you're going to have to reseal it.
