I may be headed for trouble here! I have a 100 gallon aquarium I got from a
friend. It has been in use for about 18 months without a hitch. I have a
bunch of goldfish in it ranging from 2 inches to 8 inches.

I noticed water on the stand at one corner of the tank (oh yeah the tank is
18 inches square by 6 feet long) this evening when I was feeding the fish.
The tank is in an out of the way corner so there's no chance it got bumped
or banged.

The water seem to be coming from the band of metal on the bottom of the
tank. If I push it in a bit I see water between it and the glass.

The leak isn't bad and I won't lose too much water but I'm afraid it is a
precursor of things to come. I know this sound silly, but is there a way to
find and seal the leak without tearing the tank down? It is well balanced
and I hate to start over.

Any ideas?

I personally do not see much of a choice...

Just save all the "balanced" water in some clean 5 gallon buckets???

You could use a large rubbermaid storage container as a temporary tank
while this one "cures" after re-sealing.

Good luck! What a PITA!!!
