Default Leaking Sump

If you can get your hands on some orca sealant from the LFS it can be applied right under the water, I installed both my overflows with the rock and fish in it when I switched to an overflow design from a bottom drilled tank. You just have to take a cloth and wipe the area very well to remove the slime from the tank and them apply the ocra glue over the leak.

re-siliconing the sump can be done if you can drain it and dry it out but that will take some time and is hit or miss.

as for the center brace all you need to do is get 3 -2x4's and 2-45 degree plates and brack the tank and you can remove the center post. I did it when I installed my new sump and the stand didnt move a millimeter.

They must be someone on canreef in Edmonton willing to lend a hand to help out!
