20 year old tank that belongs to the wife. Came home from work and the youngest points out there's dripping and water beading along the front rim of the tank.
Queue frantically emptying the tank to try and save everything.
Mission completed and then a run to the only open fish shop at 17:30.
Purchased a new 110L (26g) tank and stand.
2 weeks later perfect parameters (0 nitrites, 0 Ammonia and 5 Nitrate).
Thankfully only lost one fish who decided to jump out whilst scooping the water back in, just as I turned round it went under my foot 😓
All fish seem happy and thriving.
4 Harley Rasbora, 7 green gold tiger endler, 5 pygmy Cories, 2 Otto's and one bristlenose plec.
We've tried shrimp before and failed spectacularly with them, 7dkh and 8 dgh hardness with 7.5ph but I think there's something going on with copper as they all fail molts.

Uffff I feel that. Just went through something similar myself, glad everything went well-ish!
This happened because the tank wasn’t supported on the entire bottom. You need a new stand.
