That sucks about the leak. I hope it is an easy fix and not to much of a set back.

Dang it! you have no idea how much I was lookin forward to seeing this filled completely and with fish in it soon. Now I have to wait even longer!?

Haha, I know this is killing you too but this is a very impressive build and I am happy that the problem is not much worse.

Sorry Pete, knew i should have kept my mouth shut. I'm the bad omen of DIY leaks

It'll be fine. I have plenty rubber coat left. I learned that using pond liner over the bottom to walk on protects it, but didn't discover that until near the end. Worst case I'll have to pull up the bottom, but I don't think I'll have to do that.

I'm not real sure. I didn't go over the bottom again after we worked on the ceiling. It could be a new divet from that day or the other.

To put things in perspective:

Saturday before we went to be it was at the 3000 gallon tape mark. We didn't get up until around noon and it hadn't moved from the mark.

Sunday when we added the other 700ish gallons it had been a couple hours after turning off the hose and it hadn't moved off the top tape mark.
