My tank is leaking from the bottom of the tank, its an incredibly small tank, however something I feel I have to fix. Its a 24 gal aquapod and im thinking i can just go over the seal on the outside with some clear sealent. Anyone know of good ways to go about this, and or a good sealent for SWF tanks.
Thanks in advance,

Most LFSs sell aquarium safe silicon.
I'm not sure sealing it on the outside will work. Generally the seams are covered by a plastic bezel, and if you seal against the bezel where water comes out it'll just travel along between the bezel and glass until it finds another way out.
You are going to be far better off to drain the tank down, put your livestock in a holding tank, dry it out and seal the inside. :thinking:
