View Full Version : Leaking tank: from within overflow to outside

Just bought a used Lee-Mar 60 gallon cube. When I fill the "main display" and leave the overflow dry, the tank does not leak. When I dry the "main display" and fill only the overflow, I get a drip.

The drip appears on the bottom back of the tank via the bottom trim/frame. I cannot tell where the leak is exactly, but the experiment indicates it is coming from somewhere in the overflow area.

Question: Can/should I solve this by running a bead of silicone around the bottom inside of the overflow?

Thank you,

Chris
