day before vaction, all packed to go, and go to clean my final tank and notice that the stand is wet, ok this is the tank If you remember I had such a trouble with the stand. OK, to get tank in I had to drag it a ft. so the botten on the side it is leaking has the trim grinded a bit. I couldn't help but dragging it. so not sure if that is the reason why. also it sits over the stand less than maybe 2 cm, so not sure if the over hang is the problem. the tank bottem has plywood so I cant see if it cracked or a leak, all I can see if the discoloration on the plywood. very slow leak, once I get some people together to see how bad it is, if a leak, it can be fixed right??
URGHHH a leak

Man, timing couldn't be any worse.
There's no way around it, you're going to need to completely empty it. If its not a crack, you should be able to save it by stripping off all the old silicone and resiliconing the entire inside. The stripping and resealing is actually pretty easy, I just did it to a used 180 last month. Good luck.

well I got my 180 stock in a 125 with 3x AC110s and pond hydro sponge tripled valved so filtration is at least good, I will have to mess with it after trip, cant get money for rooms and stuff back.. a stress free vacation full of worry lol
