I recently acquired an aquarium from a friend. I believe it was a kit build and is 3/4" acrylic 48x30x22". He had it in his house for the last 2.5 yrs and was over it. It was not leaking in his house as I was there to see it. Presumably, during the move it may habe gotten tweaked? And now is leaking I would say 1/2 gallon maybe every 8 hours? I have since drained the tank. I am hoping there is a way to salvage this tank as I have already invested a fair amount of effort getting it to my house and cleaning it etc. I read that people suggested welding acrylic triangle rod in the corners which seemed like a possibility, but the corners are not perfectly square on the insides I would say due to the orignal epoxy/welding of the tank. Are there any sealants I could try to use to close up these leaks? I pulled wood trim off from around edges and can see areas that are bubbled/opaque. I will try to include pictures. It appears to be leaking around the bottom where I cant really see and not from any of the sides. I am not opposed to using something that is not perfectly clear if need be as the bottom will be covered by black sand that was included. I also have a large amount of rock,a water chiller and heater, and all the necessary pumps etc. Any help is greatly appreciated!
