<div>I am on my way to school and just noticed that my sump is slowly leaking water. When I had done the tank change a fews ago my mother's fiance cracked the sump. I sealed the crack, it is an acrylic wet-dry. I intended to replace it but don't have the money right now. Well, it has slowly begun leaking. I filled it with two gallons of water and it is already close to the pump level. I see a tiny amount of water on the floor. It must not be leaking out at a fast rate because clearly this is the reason why I have been topping off my sump a lot lately. Can I shut the sump off fora few days until I find a new one to buy? (even though it'll leak in the process.<br />
 <br />
I am contemplating not restarting this tank, and just going freshwater, or no tank at all. Opinions? I just built a stand which cost me a lot as it is 4 feet of the ground and the added canopy will make it 7. However, the canopy is not done bc I have no way of getting the lights out the old hood. All my livestock, with the exception of four fish, died. It is getting an algae bloom again. And my sump cracked. Frustrated I need advice. I knew this would be a hard hobby but I have had nothing but disaster since day 1.<br />
 <br />
I love saltwater but what is the point of a saltwater tank if you spend tons of money on the creatures and in my case, watch them die ( I hate seeing them die, I feel bad). <br />
 <br />
I also go to school, soon law school, so not sure if this is the best fit even though I love saltwater : /</div>
