    Figured it out with a lil tube. I needed to suck air out of it for it to
    Work. So she is running now full of water thanks for ur help. Going to let it run for a day and tommarow morning ill empty the whole tank. So I can finish painting my stand and get my wet/dry in stand. But I think well I know I going to have to take out center piece so it will fit.

    So on to next step..

    So two leaks. Wet and dry easy. Hard one. I noticed that the bitten of tank is where leak is seems like along the edges where bitten galls meets side glass. Looks like silicon is really old and the lil rubber that runs along edge came off. I can just go crazy with silicone to fix this u think?

    Ouch... Hope everything works out... You will probably need to scrape out most of the old silicon before applying new...

    Yea ouch is not even the word. I woke at 7 this morning and been using the rug doctor to best of my ability. Three and half hours so far pf.vacuuming water from carpet. Its still a lil damp but I give up for now. If I come home and there not dry or stinks way to bad I guess Stanley stemmer will be here.

    Yea.I going to scrape all of that off.and.do it over with alot.of.extra silicone. Hope it works.

    But I got my stand painted and doors off and now.just need to get wet and dry in there once I fix all leaks and or cracks.

    Oh wow, let me know how that turns out. You need to let all surfaces dry completely before applying the silicone. Good luck mate!
