just find out where its leaking after its empty, if its leaking because of a crack, its become a home for a lizard or a terrarium.
if the silicone has a hole in it just resilicone it.

I had something like that happen to my 46g.reef..it started leaking on the front corner. I had to empty it and I decided to buy a new one. I just didn't feel comfortable sealing it and hoping it would hold....Good Luck

if it is a reef ready tank or drilled on the back I would check the bulkheads before you go into panic mode
