So my 60 cube didn't make it's 4th move. Filled it last night, added back the water and livestock and woke up this am with a wet stand. I'll be breaking the tank down and putting everything in rubbermaids. So I'm looking for a new tank. I know about FB, but are there other stores locally that sell tanks?

That stinks. Let me know if I can help you out in any way.
 
I really appreciate it Dan. I called you guys this afternoon, and while 24x25 footprint is perfect, the 13" tall is way short.

I'm not in a rush. Everything is in a pair of 18Gal rubbermaids, so I have time so to not make a rash decision. I am very disappointed though. This was my dream tank, that I was really putting a lot of effort into. While I want to blame it on Mr Aqua, the tank has been bought used (though not old) and moved 4 times now. We are always really careful, but something went wrong this time.

I have 25" deep x 31" wide max on the stand. If you find anything let me know.

Can't you take it apart and reseal the whole thing? I had the same issue with my frag tank. Resealed the whole thing and back up and running.

That is an option, Never done it before, so I'm a little nervous about getting it right on a large tank like this.
 
It's not as bad as you may think...plus, its a whole lot cheaper. Not to mention, you get to keep your dream tank
 
Found the leak. Turns out the bottom glass has a very small dish crack at the seam. I can probably break down and reseal the whole tank with the same glass, but I'd feel safer just replacing it. At least its not a ground and beveled piece. Any ideas where to get a piece of glass about 24x24 (dunno how thick yet)

I'd give Columbus Glass a call.
