Please Help!! Leaky Tank

[stagedperformance]

Someone please help!!! I noticed my 90 gallon glass tank with a small leak this morning. It looks to be coming from the bottom back seam on the left side, it is dripping at the top of the bottom band. Right now it is just a drip but I don't want it to get worse. I can get everything converted over monday or tuesday to another tank and replace this one but until then is there any way to seal this leak as it is dripping?? I just need two or three days to get a new tank in place. I would appreciate any help!!
Thanks,
SP

I personally wouldn't wait. That is fine if you can't have another tank ready until Monday/Tuesday. But in the meantime I would run to Target or Home Depot and get a bunch of rubbermaid containers. Start to drain the water/livestock/liverock into them. A heater in each and a couple of powerheads will keep everything alive until the new tank is set up.

With the leak coming from the bottom you can't drain a bit of water and have it stop, so in my opinion you don't have much choice.

i had the same problem with my 72 bow tank but to my luck it was my freshwater tank. as soon as i noticed it i emptied the tank and put all the water in one of my bathtubs and but my fish in there for about a week. i resealed the whole tank and moved it to a differnt location in the house and now everything is goin great. so my advice is to fix it as soon as possible.

Your fish were taking a bath?

I wouldn't wait. As others suggested, I would move everything to large rubbermaid containers with aeration and appropriate temperature either via house a/c or heaters depending on your weather right now.

The tank could let go at any minute or not, but I wouldn't chance it. On New Year's day when cleaning my 225 gallon tank before our company arrived I noticed the back was separating from the top. End of NY day's party to empty and relocate everything.
