Pm if do basic home install

I'm clearly fed up with the effen nonsense with my tank
Was running with zero issue, now not so much just filled an emergency tank and trying to catch my fish. Somehow I spring a leak under tank. M looking for a redo underneath because I could fudge up about anything
Pm key!

I live in Essex county NJ, would like done this week if possible. If you know what your doing probably an hour of your time and clearly I will pay for that time. Joe

No. I thought i tightened the pc that was leaking but i notice pooling of water in rear of stand, could be bulkheads or ato container leakd either way i drained water and rock into an emergency setup. Plan to remove evrything underneath, dry out, repaint it and figure wth is wrong. I think i may put a liner in as well
Tank been running few months

30 min Further,

Tank has been drained into brutes, heaters, power heads and rocks. Tank been cycled a month. This blows. I know it could be worse, and I am lucky i had spare tank and buckets with ample space and all that but im cranked!
After work tomorrow I'll asses if any damage to stand which I doubt as its built like a tank, it'll dry, get painted and hopefully put back together Friday. If not sooner I guess

So I had today off and dedicated most of it to figuring out WTF went wrong

I located a crack in manifold joint (PVC) and a small crack in my sump. I repainted inside of stand, cleaned up some equipment and tank is now back up and running. Hopefully the only setback I have now
Thank you to everyone who offered to help, I'm glad it was something simple and for most part easy to fix
