Is it hopeless?

[BogotaDave]

This morning I noticed a little water on the floor next to my Red Sea Max 250 (66g AIO). Further investigation seems to point to a slow leak where the glass meets the base inside the power center compartment. By slow I mean one drip every 30 seconds. Can I live with it, will it eventually turn into a flood? Can a leak be repaired from the outside ( I assume not but have to ask anyway.) Or do I drain, disperse and start over?
HELP!

Can you patch it? Drain and seal?

Eventually it will become a larger leak, then maybe a flood

i think it's not a disaster after all. The water is coming from the hose to my chiller where it links to a down spout in the sump. It looks like the drips were travlling across the back of the tank and down into the power center compartment. Crisis averted!!

how long have you had the RSM250?

You can never seal from the outside in, there is to much pressure.

I just got it in December. I had one previously that suddenly cracked and emptied. I was able to get s tank only from Red Ses since I had all the innards already. I did replace their finnicky skimmer with an Aquamacc HOB that works like a charm.
