That's bad.
Well, at least you got it fixed now.
You did do the whole tank now? (I sure hope so...)
Are you keeping up with waterchanges?

Did you manage to keep your filter "alive" as well?

cool.
Then your oscar will like the rehoming very much.
If the filter is running in the bin, you should be fine.
But if the filter is not running, turning it back on will result in a massive ammoniaspike from the dead bacteria.

Good, start huffing and puffing at the silicone then, to speed up the curing and drying!

This is why when you get a leak you should reseal the whole tank, once the sealer goes in one point it wont be long before the rest goes. At least you got it done
