Actually 10 hours and it should be filled.

I put the windows in Friday night 2 weeks ago. Was going to wait until Saturday to fill it but tonight is the night.

Bad news, good news, bad news.

Bad news: It leaks
Good news: Not from the windows
Bad news: It leaks

I am in the process of narrowing down the leak spot. It's lower than previous leaks. That is all I know for now. It started leaking around the 18" mark this time.

I have a quart left of pond armor so my plan is to take the tank down 1-2" at a time, wait 2 hours and if I notice the water dry up under the tank; Then I will have a nice narrow path that I can run my last quart of pond armor over and try again.

If I can narrow that height of the leak down by tomorrow I should be able to leak test again Sunday.

After that I am thinking chainsaws, gasoline, and matches..
