Can I use this tank?

[jmg416]

I recently got a Innovative Marine Nuvo 8 tank. When i put water in just the back, filter compartment there was a slow leak into the front of the tank. It is about a drop every second. How much of an impact will this have on the tank? Will this cause any issues down the road, or will it have any affect on the stability of the tank?

Thanks is advance for any advice.

Well obviously if you dont fix it, its gonna get worse. If you recentley got it call innovative marine, theyll replace it.

Just get some aquarium silicon. Tape of the side and seal it up

I attempted to re-silicone it, but the leak remains.

I didn't think it would get worse, as I assumed that once the pumps are running the pressure would equalize. But now you have me worried about that too.

Innovative is already sending a replacement for the leak. And they don't want the old tank back. I was just unsure if I should try to use it or not. They are a fantastic company to deal with.
