water seep!

[Z4]

water seeping from somewhere on a glass tank... options... empty and scrape off all sealant and apply new sealer.. or just seal over old sealer?

[VeeDub]

You will need to scrape all of the old sealer off.
New sealer wont stick to the old stuff.
Sorry, hope its not a big tank.

actually it is ...100 gals....

[VeeDub]

:( Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I dont think you have any other options.

Maybe somebody has had luck with sealer on sealer, but I am under the impression that it won't work.

for a 100g you might be better off buying a new tank...you can get them at a good price here in SA.

Oh Lord...here we go again! :P This is what happened to me Z4...with a 100 gal. Ended up upgrading to a 180 Brick. We thought we knew where the leak was, but it wasn't...we tried sealing where we thought it was. Ended up having to break down the tank & have it totally resealed. Just took the opportunity to upgrade since we HAD to break it down. Good Luck!
