    Hey, guys (and gals)... Got a little problem here with re sealing a small leak on a 180 gallon frag tank. First of all excuse my spelling as it's been a Long day.. 8 hours driving to get this tank and I'm now tired and a couple beers deep. Anyways, got 180 gallon acrylic tank, 8'x4'x12" , 2 mh fixtures, 2 250 watt lumatek ballasts, about 10 xm bulbs of various k ratings (most are now useless but the newest ones are only 3 months old and I'm guessing will use for 3 months more max.) forget what the Protein skimmer is, also a korallin calcium reactor, current 1/3 hp chiller, huge sump(unknown size) 32 gallon can of live rock, HUGE commercial uv sterilizer that I may or may not use, and couple pumps to run it all... everything is about 2 years old except the tank which the guy bought used at the time. Anyone wanna make a guess at how much for everything?

    A few pics.. Sorry, it's dark now and were cleaning it up. Lights are just hanging up to test.

    Oh, forgot, do you think I can just re-seal the joint with weld-on 16? I know silicone doesn't necessary stick to acrylic but I was thinking.. Use the weld on, then seal all around the whole inside with silicone just as a precaution, not as the main seal. Opinions?
