TOPIC: #%@$!%^#^%$@!!!!!!

#%@$!%^#^%$@!!!!!! 2 years, 1 month ago #90912

My 125 is leaking again!!! I've already resealed it, what more can I do? I'm at the point were if I had the money, I'd just go buy a new tank, but I don't have $1,500 just sitting around.

lol frustrating, but all you can do is remove the old stuff and try again. (

Yo, Cello!
that too bad.
Like marcus said ,nothing to do but reseal.
Come to think of it, is the cabinet leveled off?
i mean no possibility of stress on the sealing, by an uneven leveled tank?

The dresser its on is sagging. So when I resealed it I put a bunch of stacked up news paper under the whole thing to make it level, but apparently that didn't work. I'm thinking about making a short stand from cinder blocks, anybody else have any ideas?

Bricks work well and look nice! Just about anything that you can make level will work! Good Luck!

so that may be your problem...
Cinder blocks are cheap and easy, but i use metalframes under all the big tanks.
Take care of the stand first, or your resealing will be a repeating process.
Good luck

edit: i use slabs of stryrofoam under all my tanks to make sure i have as less stress as possible on my bottom plate.

Make sure your stand is level and flat (a warped top is no good). Inbetween the tank and stand put some polystyrene, this can be bought at LFS or you can get some from DIY shops
