Tank leaks!
My 75gal tank is accumulating salts on its edge. It has to be a leak but I
was wondering if it is normal or should I just transfer everything to a new tank? Is not a big deal but worries me. iy

Yes it's normal for tanks to leak. That's how we all do
our water changes. It makes the carpet rather crunchy, but it sure makes water changes a lot easier. hehehe Wayne Sallee Wayne's Pets Inabón Yunes wrote on 7/18/2006 6:06 PM: My 75gal tank is accumulating salts on its edge.

I found this article helpful. Your tank should be ok.

If it's dripping down a seal, it might not be a big deal now, but it will if the seam gives.

Tank leaks!
It is more like a sweat on the bottom seam. The moisture is coming over the
top of the seam and water doesn't drip. I know it is happening for the salt accumulation. It only happens on one corner. Thanks! "Bryan" wrote in message ... I found this article helpful.

My old 29G tank did this for years, it was nothing more than a minor inconvenience. David PS I scraped off the salt and put it back in the tank.
