Earlier I told you that my sump was leaking, the whole reason why I needed to setup the 34 Gallon Red Sea Max tank. It seems that it is leaking underneath the sump, perhaps on the joints. It could even be in the back joints, away from my view. Whatever the case I need to get it out. The above picture shows salt creep coming from below…now my sump has little to no water turbulence, or water splashing up so it could not be from that. It’s leaking. Also I would like to point out that since I will be getting a new sump that I will not have to clean out my sump, which it needs to be. You should clean them out at least once every 6 months.
The state of the aquarium sump: it is leaking slowly
