OK,
So I wake up this morning to a saltwater puddle next to my tank. Not too much water but there is definitely a leak. It is coming from my sump. I think (and hope) that it is coming from the last chamber in my sump which is where my return pump is housed. So I moved my pump into the center (refugium) chamber, emptied and dried the chamber where the pump was and added weldon to all of the seams. Basically pooling the cement over the existing seams. I plan on doing it again tonight, waiting for it to dry for 2 days and returning (and praying) everything back to normal.
Does this sound like a good strategy or has anyone had to deal with this? My sump is one of those acrylic kits that you get online. The tank has been setup now since X-mas. 110 gallon with a 40 gallon sump.
Any comment will probably help if at least calm me down...
Thanks,
Robert
