The beginning of a possible big (nano) emergency!

[Aquapod24]

Hey guys, I just got home from music practice to find my AP24 is leaking from somewhere. If I fill it too much it usually leaks from the top rim on the left a bit but I always see it leak a couple drops down the glass. That was not the case this time. If inspected closely, It seems to be leaking from the center at the bottom I mean beneath the rim. I think where the bottom glass meets the bow front. Anybody have experience this?

What should I do to prepare in case of an emergency?

Is this repairable?

This thing isn't gonna shatter is it?

I don't know what to do except to put a mop on the floor for now and think about emptying water to inspect. :confused:

Any help is appreciated.

I would start looking for some containers to put the fish or corals in. Plastic trashcans or ice chest work well in an emergency. If you think there is a chance the glass could bust then I would move the livestock out.

nothing wrong with that!!!

I hope it's not really leaking, but let me know either way.

Thats normal for Aquapods and Nanocubes. They don't seal the bottom where the plastic meets glass. It's dumb... I know.

Yeah I had that happen to my Aquapod 24. Just don't fill your water past the plastic trim up top. Thats all.

good luck on solving the problem, I wasnt aware that Aquapods were known to leak. I owned a biocube and im pretty sure they are more of a solid product.

Same problem here!!! Just had to keep level below the rim.

Thanks for the input and offers from Glennr1978 and Aquarium Masters (our LFS) for offering tanks and buckets. I checked this morning and now after work and it's dry. I recently moved my tank and It is a little off level. Since the water level was a little high and I had both arms in there up to my elbows, the water that came out ran under the tank and when the tank settled forward (after I left the house) the water came out from under the tank...thus looking like a leak. I will monitor going forward and set that tank plumb. Thanks gain.
