tank leaking, LF 40 or 45 gallon

[mockranouse]

I came home this morning and I'm pretty sure that my tank is leaking from the bottom and I was wondering if anyone has a 40 gallon or 45 gallon laying around that they are willing to sell.

Does your tank have bulkheads or an overflow box, or power filter on it? A lot of times tanks look like they are leaking from the bottom, but it's really something else. Water splashing on the top lip of the tank and streams down the side and fills the bottom trim up, which may then leak out at another side of the tank.

Check the top of the tank thoroughly.

I recently had a bulkhead leak on my 265 reef. I first noticed water dripping out of the left side of the bottom trim of the tank. But after investigating, the bulkhead on the right side of the tank had a leak.
