i always get good help fast here so im going to ask.

i woke up this morning to water on the carpet and a tank leaking. i only have sand 2 powerheads and a heater in it cuase i was just starting the tank up. ive had 1 leak before in the FW test but i thought i fixed it. the bulkhead had come loose so i tightened it and cemented in a peice of PVC to the bulkhead (i thought it was the pipe was loose, it was fine till now). i thought it was the bulkhead but last time that leaked water dripped down the plumbing, it isnt this time. the water is literally seeping from the edges from under the tank and then falls off the side of the stand. im working on draining the waterand then going from there. any ideas? help!? gotta get back to bailing.


ok so i got it drained (thank you fat tubes) and took it off the stand and have it tilted so i can get at the bulkhead. the head isnt loose but there is water around it and all over the stand. im stumped. im trying to find a wrench to take off the bulkhead to soo if thats wet. ugh.
 
Freakin a the tanks cracked from the bulkhead hole to 1/2" past the overflow, thats why so much water was leaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
its the ones Terri had in her shop. i bought it from Tim for $75 of my mom so im even madder. looks like im going to have to drill the 55 then.
