Hey I recently noticed my tanks seals looking a little beat up.

This pic is the worst of it so far. I am not sure if its normal or something to fix now. My tank is full so it would suck to have to empty it, but would be better than it emptying itself if you know what i mean.

Sorry its sideways!

Not normal, although keep an eye on it, this usually happens when a tank is fairly used well. Like emptying it and cleaning it out after some few years, hope this helps!

You can drain the tank into a few Rubbermaid cans throw your livestock in and the reseal the tank. I did it with a freshwater planted tank. Never SW befor though...

Yeah i thought of that but dont have the$ for it right now. What if i bought a new 75 and swapped it out. Would i get a bigger tank (125) but my stand and canopybos very nice oak and to find a tank with a nice stad would be hard to find or expensice. Plus i would have to get new light fixture and more live rock sand powerheads heaters. It could cost a lot
