300 gallon acrylic aquarium. I am very concerned about the integrity of my aquarium. I found what appears to be moisture where the side panel meets the front panel. Should I be concerned and is this a sign of immanent failure? Pictures are attatched.

Take some tissue and tape it up around the corner. You could even tape a run of tissue down the entire seam from top to bottom. If it's leaking at all, it will show you right where it is.

Good luck.

Do you think it will start leaking slowly or just explode?
