Keeping Fish

how do u fix a leeking fish tank

The best way is to re-do ALL the seals in the tank using aquarium grade silicone -- be sure to remove ALL the old silicone (razor blade), follow the instructions thoroughly and especially allow the appropriate "cure" time --- or make it a reptile tank and get a new/new-to-you tank with good seals.

That was assuming the leak is on a seal -- if the leak is in the glass itself that's another matter all together and you still redo the seals but also replace the pane in question.....not for the faint of heart.
