My bio-filter tank is a Rubbermaid 100 gal setup, and you're absolutely right!!! And yes, I did have a slight leak there also, but I conquered that one. I have a 300 gallon "Freeland" horse trough, made in (I believe Wisconsin). At any rate, the nylon plug with a leather gasket would not seal. Just found out that the FDA does not approve 3M 5200 for any potable water applications, so I guess I've got my answer. I know there's an epoxy manufactured for instant fixes, that is safe for fish. Just don't know the name. I've heard of leak repairs made for giant aquariums, in such that a scuba diver installs it underwater, and it sets-up fast. I am very "anal" about fixing leaks, I can't stand-it.
