I hope the leak isn't too big.

So, I installed my frag tank yesterday. Got it all plumbed up and working went to bed and this morning I decided to go check on it (I almost didn't). When I went down there I noticed that the stand was wet, the floor wasn't soaked, but the stand was very noticable. Unfortunately, I had to go to work and was running late. I couldn't see where the water was coming from so I'm really hoping it's just some dripping.

I guess we'll see when I get back from work!

good luck! Managing to get any work done today? Sounds like a good reason for a vacation day to me..

in my experience a decent leak will start automatically. if it took that long to start leaking then my guess would be its just a small leak that will probably seal with a small amount of tweaking or it may just self seal. keep us updated.
any pics of the new frag tank? what are the measurements?

 

[Lincutis]

Rob, hope it's simple.

It must be bad, no updates :eek2:

I don't know that I would have gone to work with any thing leaking.
I hope it all worked out for you.

I've gone to work with way worse things than a small leak It's just a fish tank right? It's a small enough leak that I couldn't find any actual drops, and it's hard to see the water running down the gray tank. I'm pretty sure I pin pointed it to a bulkhead that needed a little further turning. We'll see in the morning at least.

Its good to hear it was an easy fix.

If not, I'm sure salt creep will plug the hole in a few weeks.

ahhh gotta love bulk heads!!!!

at least thet's easy to fix! is it a rubbermaid stock tank?

 

[TacoKing]

Yeah, its in a 50gal rubbermaid stock tank. I think I got it all taken care of yesterday, but again this morning I was running late and didn't go down to see. Hopefully everything is dry when I go home today.

Are you using the stock BH that came on the poly tank, if so you need to be beat with a stick You should know that those are POS... Go get a 1" sched 80 BH and a plug from Savko for like $10.00...

 

[TacoKing]

Leak fixed! It was actually a sch 80 2" bulk head that was leaking. It was on part of the curve and I hadn't wrenched down enough to get a good seal. No big deal. I've had way bigger messes than this before

 

[asnatlas]

Glad to hear it was an easy fix

 

[sammie]

Good catch but maby you should get up earlier.
