A leak in a 65 ( 36 X 18 X 24deep). It is an older tank (regular glass+RTV), but has been in the same spot (and full) for about 3 years. I think it has been leaking for about a day ,about 2 gal. Wet spot on the floor (ceramic, greatfully); I traced it back to a vertical corner ,about 10" above the bottom. About 2 drops/sec.
In order to stay with "dread" and not progress to "nightmare"; I put a clamp at the leak spot to hold the tank together. As I tightened it , water squirted out from about a 3" length. So , I can forget the possibility of sealing a pinhole.
I reassembled a 55 a few years ago and it was more trouble than it was worth. Maybe I have a new terrarium.
Any suggestions ?:icon_hang:
