    All those will work for a quick fix. But the tank is going to need to be resealed with proper silicone, and that needs to be dry. If your going to the store to buy a quick fix just get a rubber made tub and some silicone and do it right. Just my two cents.

    I second the JB Waterweld as a temporary fix. You can place it inside underwater.

    But yeah, you'll have to fix it good and proper once you have the logistics for the livestock figured out.

    Bump for ya....
    How did you make out? What did you decide to do?

    Also once you have it under control, check craigslist quick for a cheap tank for sale to help you out.

    Look at the bright side too.....could be a way/excuse to get a bigger tank. (IE....honey this 300 gallon tank was the only one they had ;D )

    I think this would really be best. Then find your warranty papers and get on the phone with a rep. from Oceanic, ASAP.

    Good luck on this especially if the tank is older than 6 months. I speak from experiance, mine was 6 months 7 days old and basically they said "Tough". Out of curiosity where did it leak at, which seam?
