Rock bonder to seal tank leaks.

[L0rdDracula]

Hi isit possible for me to seal of a small leak of my tank using rock bonder? Kindly enlighten me. Thanks.

May still leak, but worth a try. I presume the leak is underwater?

Rock bonder will solidify and become hard and brittle. It may not be able to expand/contract like silicone.

Use Aquarium silicon. Cheap and good.

Thanks for all reply so far. Hmm... Plan to use silicon but currently tank filled with water so doubt it works in wet area and i have no place to hold all the water for now and I can't waste all those water can I? It's at the most bottom corner of internal overflow box.I plan to use rock bonder to cover the hole first then use silicon touch up isit possible? PS. it's not a very big leak just 1 drop per second but i am afraid of it expanding in the next couple of months or so...

Any idea will be appreciated. Thanks again..

Uh you shouldn't underestimate the pressure from the water, especially in a big tank. I brushed aside a 1 drop a second leak when it appeared on a 4x2x2.5 tank, and within 2 weeks the leak burst open into a waterfall. Rock bonder is brittle and definitely not waterproof if you are gonna let it cure underwater. best to dry the tank out and reseal it. Short term savings can hurt you in the long term.

Try the Aquarium Munster aquarium silicon. Can be applied and cured in the aquarium without draining. Last i saw they are available in Aquamarin. Dont risk it, my 6X2X3 emptied itself within 30mins in the middle of the night.Imagine 1 ton of salt water on the floor...

Saw similar type in HomeFix (Great World City Branch) too. It can be applied without draining.
