My Tank Is Leaking From The Bottom!

If its a leak personally I'd get a new tank if u can afford it this time of year if it don't seal properly the pressure will break it

What?

I don't understand the correlation between this time of year and pressure.

I don't understand the correlation between this time of year and pressure.

i think they were saying if you can afford a new tank at this time of year(xmas) the pressure was in regarding to not sealing the tank correctly

Really? How do you get that? Oh, wait! I mentally put some punctuation in there and it made sense. Thanks, Bruiser!

At least it isn't a behemoth of a tank...I can imagine that is the ULTIMATE nightmare to have to drain something 200 gallons plus....

If it is leaking I would just reseal it. Maybe more work, but its cheaper. Its pretty simple to do as well, but does take a few days.

Thanks guys. Well last night I got loads of tissue and jammed it in the bottom between the tank and stand where it was leaking and wiped it up and since then there's been no water!!! I'm now wondering if it is actually leaking or if there was just some trapped water under there from when I cleaned it.

Gonna keep an eye on it and see

I’ve resealed a few tanks, did a Rio 400 once, completely took off old seal and resealed, took a lot of effort, but worth it and never leaked again.

I’d definitely attempt the same with a 60litre, but make sure it is actually leaking, could be condensation.
