I have a 10 gallon reef tank that is leaking from the bottom. About a quarter sized spot every few minutes. I can't see where the leak is coming from. Seeing as I'd have to drain the tank anyway to patch it, I would rather replace the tank (and upgrade to 15 gallon)
How do I do this without hurting my fish or coral? I was thinking of setting up a tupperware container, filling it with tank water and a few pieces of live rock. Putting my aquaclear refugium which is currently on the 10 gallon and moving the live stock to there.
That'd give me the space to get rid of the old tank and set up the new one. I'm concerned with the longitudinal of the tupperware container tank, how long could my fish survive in it.
Any help is apperciated. Of course these leaks always happen during my busiest weeks.
