What can I add to my tank...
 
..to make it stop leaking? I figure if I dump enough silicone in, that might work. Or would concrete seal better?

I'm going out for a while :)

Make it into a closed loop. Duct tape a funnel on the glass, short piece of old garden hose jammed onto end of funnel and back up into the tank. I will leave the mode choice of moving the water back into the tank to the real gingeneers.

How about wrap it in baby diapers? I hear that's very absorbant:mrgreen:

That's one I hadn't thought of! Just not sure where it's leaking, the bottom trim is full of water. Nice effect of salt creep moving up the front glass though!

I have strategically placed rolls of paper towels, diapers are too expensive!

I've heard a sledge hammer is good for permanently stopping leaks if used strategically. Never tried it myself. If you do, please post Youtube video:wink:

Ya know, right now I'm considering it.

I'm not sure how this would affect fish and coral, but it's safe for kids so must be safe for aquaria, right? I'm sure it would slow, if not stop a leak.
