Equipment Review and Discussion :: GREAT! D: my tank has a leak.

about 2 inches from the top of my tank, there is a little leak and im not sure how to fix it. i have some ideas but im not sure. i siphoned the water down below the level of the leak and im letting the area dry.

let it dry out, then buy some aquarium safe caulking and put it where the leak is......
oh wait the turtle........ well IDK but that's how you fix it. Do you have a seperate tank to use for temporary housing?

If you have any little container that you can put water in and a place to bask, it should be fine. I had to re-silicone my tank 2 times and now it's sealed.
If that's the only place it leaks at just put a good amount of aquarium safe silicone and smooth it down with your finger.
The second time I sealed it, it was just leaking in one small spot like yours. I used about 1/2 of a 3 oz. tube of silicone on that one spot to be sure it didn't leak again, and now it doesn't!
