This corner had separated,



and despite my best efforts, I couldn't stop the leak.



So I had to completely dismantle the tank, meaning containers of fish, plants and water all over the house.
After resealing the glass and allowing to the sealant to cure overnight, it was 'simply' a case of putting everything back together.
I did lose one fish, one of a pair of Angel fish :( , but it could have been so much worse.
The tank now.

Glad it's sorted. :broon:

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

The k seal was useless! :P
Mess all cleaned up now, just hoping the wooden floor will dry out without losing any structural integrity. The prospect of the tank dropping through the floor doesn't bear thinking about! :pinch:
