leak
Help!I finally got my sump and filters and pump going.. Filled up my tank. I discovered a small leak that is slowly filling up the bottom chamber of my acrylic stand. It is a closed system with a access hatch in the front and small opening in the back for cords, etc. The lip from the bottom to the opening is about 5 inches high. I checked the bulkeads, tightened.. checked all the junctions and clamps, tightened those too. No water or wetness when I feel them with my fingers. I cant find where the leak is. Any suggestions? I have two 1 inch builkheads and 2 3/4 bulkhead returns each going to corner overflows. No matter how many times I try, I cant seem to pinpoint where the leak is coming from.
This is an all acrylic tenecor tank. |

Pat the connections with paper towels to find the leak.

You can also assume that the leak could be on the glue goints of the tank although Tenecor is known for quality construction.
