I've been working on 125 in wall for the last three weekends. cut the hole in the wall and built the stand 3 weeks ago. Installed tank and sump/fuge two weeks ago (a used acrylic tank with overflows in both back corners). Last weekend I added 150lbs LR, in addition to 40lbs that came with the tank, and installed the lights.
Tonight I was tinkering with the sump and noticed that at the very bottom of one of my overflows there is a hairline seam that did not get sealed when the overflow was installed. This allows a slow but steady trickle into my sump, when the circulation pump is off, which could potentialy drain ALL my tank water onto the floor! I am so glad that I found it now before a disaster, but it really brings down a truely great three weeks putting this thing together. Is there any way/product I can use to patch this w/out draining the tank? And if not, how long would I have to keep the tank dry before can fill it again?
