Creep is on both ends of the tank on the top corners, running down the side of the tank. Have no idea how its happening. Not enough surface agitation to cause splashing unless my fish are doing it lol
If it keeps coming back there is something wrong, check the corners seals just my two cents.
Nvm I think I know what's happening. It is leaking a little bit but at the top "border". Is there a way I can just rip that off the tank? Its not really leaking, its just retaining water I guess
I'd rather rip this border off and see what happens. Its already broken anyways. Think it'll cause a problem?
If you take it off plan on going swimming
The frame holds the tank together you take it off the tank will bow and then the front pane will blow out.
Yes I guess it would be the frame. Hmm okay so taking it off isn't an option. Can I just silicone it in place?
I would empty it and get it fixed. It is only a matter of time before she blows apart
If I press on this frame, water comes out. So that means the glue that holds down the frame is bad and water is finding its way thru right?
You have a stress point there, that's why you are getting water you can lower the water level and silicone the inside and put some Weldon 16 on the frame and hope it holds or empty the tank and put a new frame on it and a seal.
The frame is held on by the same silicone as the seams. And with a tank that large, rise cracks in the frame would make nervous. If it was me and I wanted to save the tank I would drain it and fix it right by replacing the frame.

Not what I wanted to hear guys. Ughhh... Does it make a difference that the water is leaning towards the front a little bit? I can shim it a little more. I really can't empty this tank 
Dan when you install the tank did you level the tank before filling.
No I usually start filling then eye ball it going by the level of water... I know its the worst way to do it but ita what I did Lol I have a bubble level on my phone but its not really accurate
WOW Dan
