      The proper way to solve this would be to comppletely empty the tank. Remove the silicone with a razor blade and remove the entire panel of glass where the leak it. Clean it. Then re-silicone the panel of glass back in place.


      With very minor, non-structural leaks you can simply dab some silicone over the hole, let it dry for 24hrs, and it is “good enough”....

      It's a huge tank. I can't find the leak. It's not leaking now with water in it and don't want to take the chance. I think I'm going to downsize. I know you have access to other tanks. Can you use it or know someone that could. Maybe trade for a smaller tank? It's 36x48x24. This tank is heavy.
