Leaking Tank, need help!

[Easye]

I have a custom 140G that has leaked before. I cleaned it, cut away all of the old silicone and resealed it. It was ok for about a month then it started leaking from the same spot. Is there anyone that can help or now of anyone that can help?

where is the leak.is it in a spot where u can drain it to reseal.if you can shut the pumps off reseal it and let it cure for 24 hours.leave your powerheads on in the tank so there is water movement and oxygen for your fishes.i would think about getting another tank soon.

I would have suggested replacing the tank after the first time it leaked. The fact that you experienced the leak a second time only reinforces that comment. Now you're going to ask what should be done after the second leak? Save yourself from a major catastrophic loss......just replace the tank.

I agree get another tank, my friend experienced this same situation and low behold he waited and boom disaster happened and all 210 gallons of water is on his living room Just save yourself from a disaster and get a new tank!!!

Thanks for the responses. I will look for another tank. Good thing I have 2 x 55 gals laying around still. What am I going to do with the tank now? I guess i'll have to smash it for the gbage collectors.

Don't smash it. Put it up on craigslist as a free tank suitable only for reptiles.
