It will help if you do it at least two more times before you put any corals in. :badgrin: YOu may find yourself staying up very late one night otherwise.

I'm pretty sure there is a long night waiting for me just around the corner
.Thanks and thanks for delivering the saltwater! No new leaks just the same ones. I got the one in the reutrn patched up and no more leaks. I'm just waiting for the silicone to dry in the sump and yes I have a 350w heater in it now. It raised the temp 5 degrees already in a couple hrs.

Yes sir water is in! The tank is not running yet though. I just have the vortech and the tunze 6100 flowing in there right now. I have to say I am very impressed at how much water the mp40 pushes. It causes some nice waves in the tank.

hey man just wondering if your feet are still dry. Can't you bump some of the salt water in to your bath tub. I hope you find something soon to put the water in. Let me know what is going on.

Leaks?!?!?! well, that sucks, but I guess with all the plumbing we do on these tanks it is to be expected. Get 'er all fixed up and running so we can see more pics!
Keep the chin up and the feet dry.

Well when it rains it pours. I think this build is over. I came home from the Dr. and looked in my OF and the bottom glass is cracked between the bulkheads and one leading from one bulkhead to the back of the tank.
What is everyone's opinion on me siliconing the cracks on top and bottom of glass. I think this will hold the water but would the tank give at some point? The stand has a solid top besides the holes for the OF. Is it worth the risk? Has anyone silicone a crack on the bottom of their tank with out any issues? Please any ideas and help will be very much appreciated! I'm so freaking upset and confused how this happened? Any how what do you guys think should I ditch the tank or would it possibly be OK? I'm very scared to see 270g of water on my floor one day.
