I came home 2 days ago to some water on the floor. I spent the biggest part of today tracking down the source of the leak and getting it fixed. I was so pissed off at myself for not only missing the problem initially but also because of wasting so much time "fixing" everything else but the problem which wound up being the bulkhead fitting on the overflow. I KNEW that fitting should have been siliconed but I failed to do it when it was assembled which would have been so much easier than after it was installed.
If anyone building their tank is wanting to use an overflow be sure and seal the fitting with silicone or you may regret it later. Now I am letting it set up and cure so the tank can be restarted. It will be the first of many things that will need to be taken care of so I will chalk it up as a lesson learned.
