Need advice ASAP (water leak) 911!!!

I'm not sure yet where the leak is, my father in law said it was still leaking so I'm guessing it's 1/2 or lower end of the tank. He ductaped the s@#t out of it. My fear is my canister filter, heater, and skimmer are burned out. By the time I get home all the LFS are closed, at min I'll pick up cheap heaters at Wal-Mart..

you need more info regarding WHERE the leak is coming from, it should not be too difficult to determine.

As for equipment, who ever is available may have to test them to see functionality and asses if the water has migrated into any electrical outlets etc.

worst case you get get a large BRUTE or other container and save some of the remaining water, rock, etc and put your aquatic life in there as an emergency and fairly cheap interim solution until you can either repair or replace the tank.

If you need a place to store your live stock I have a 4ft tank running in my system and I could easily isolate it till you get your tank fixed up.
you can come by anytime just let me know below is my direct ph#

Well its 4hrs after getting home, I've put the live rock in one large Rubbermaid and the livestock and coral attached to rock in another, I've added heaters and powerheads in both not to mention lights over the coral. I've done the best I can with cheap carpet cleaner, I'll have to bring in a pro tomorrow. The tank was leaking from the bottom, both front and back. I guess that's what you get from a free hand me down. It's a funny thing to have no problem for two years and suddenly while on vacation BAM!!!! Now the hard part putting it all back together with minimal life loss... If I can't find a good corner aquarium in the next 48 hrs, I may just take you up on that offer to house some livestock at your place...
