Uh oh, cracked tank bottom

Hi all,

Was just meddling in my sump underneath my tank when a drop of water hit my shoulder. I removed the front of the stand and can see that the ply underneath it is saturated on one side.

I will drain the tank immediately but what are my options as far as repair goes?

Might need a fish/coral babysitter for a few weeks .

that sucks man. most likely you are looking at a new tank but you might be able to replace the bottom pane only. glad you caught it before you had a flood on your hands

No doubt it sucks!

I have drained the tank and it appears there isn't a crack so it must be a leaky seal.

Could be plumbing leaking and it's running down the side into the frame. Mine did that when I started it up.
