..to make it stop leaking? I figure if I dump enough silicone in, that might work. Or would concrete seal better?

I'm going out for a while :)

Make it into a closed loop. Duct tape a funnel on the glass, short piece of old garden hose jammed onto end of funnel and back up into the tank. I will leave the mode choice of moving the water back into the tank to the real gingeneers.

How about wrap it in baby diapers? I hear that's very absorbant:mrgreen:

That's one I hadn't thought of! Just not sure where it's leaking, the bottom trim is full of water. Nice effect of salt creep moving up the front glass though!

I have strategically placed rolls of paper towels, diapers are too expensive!

I've heard a sledge hammer is good for permanently stopping leaks if used strategically. Never tried it myself. If you do, please post Youtube video:wink:

I'm not sure how this would affect fish and coral, but it's safe for kids so must be safe for aquaria, right? I'm sure it would slow, if not stop a leak.
