Reefers New 140.

ok, keep the pictures coming so that I can wrap my head around this...thks..

Decided to go with the jebao DCT 12000, for my return. I've had good luck so far with jebao, so hopefully their returns are the same.

Got everything plumbed, minus the insides of the overflows. Then just water test the bulkheads, and time to start making some water!!

 

[reeferkeeper420]

Well hopefully my tank doesn't go down for a couple hours without me around. Both bloody overflows have slight leaks in them. And I don't have the patience or the time to be fixing that...

You're asking for trouble if you don't fix those now.
Just think what would happen if power were cut while you're at work? You'll drain the tank into your sump and overflow it and end up with water damage to everything.

Take the time and fix them before getting started.

+1 to fixing it now, it's not worth the risk once you put live stock in your tank.

Where are the overflows leaking from, if it's near the top it will be a easy fix.

In order to do it properly I'd have to redo the whole tank?? Since the new silicone won't seal to old.(where the overflow meets Glass)

No its gotta be the very bottom corner.

On a side note this will probably be the last time I buy a used tank. So sick of the bullshit that comes with it. I have yet to buy a used tank that didn't have something wrong with it.

 

[reeferkeeper420]

Regardless, it'll be fixed. I've came to far now to let this screw everything up.

Looks like the overflows are separate.
So just cut them both out, clean all old silicone off and re seal them with new silicone.

I always give 5-7 days dry time before adding water regardless of what the pkg says about 24hr dry time.

Overflows been fixed, lights been hung, RODI hooked up and now filling with water!! Can't wait to add the rock and sand, and start aquascaping.

 

[EricTMah]

Didn't take my advice about waiting the 5-7 days for silicone to dry I see.

Hope it holds for you

I didn't even remove them I just did a patch job. Filled the overflows with water and they were fine.

Good luck
