It happened after 30 some years. First leaking tank

[mickeyjaan]

Luckily it was only a 10g but it was brand new. Never leak tested a new tank before and have had 20+ tanks. I painted the back of the tank, had substrate and a plant, and noticed it was leaking. Probably 4 hours after it was filled I noticed it. Brand was marineland. After closer expedition they did a poor job sealing the bottom corner. I should of noticed it from visual inspection but didn’t.

Hate to hear of any size leaking but like you said luckily it was only a 10 gallon.

That is one of the biggest worries. It don't matter if its 1 gallon or a 1000 gallon. That is always a big concern. From day one. Ohh no did I pull it too hard on the seam. Did I tweet it as I lifted it on the stand. OMG did Bob just hit my seam on the door. It is always the biggest worry.. good note, it was small and new.

Hate to read of the leak, but a pretty good track record of 1 in 30 years.
