Help...My Tank is Leaking!

[beamer]

Last couple of nites I've had an incident where I turned off the tank and my sump flooded. Fortunately I caught it pretty quickly both times.
I was reading thru some notes that Melevs had given me awhile back about drilling a hole in the return spout. I thought mine had one. Maybe it does but is covered up with goo. Anyway, we changed out the sand bed the other nite and I realized that the return spout was down lower than usual. I'm sure it got moved around when we were putting the LR back in. From the notes I decided that there was a siphon going on to flood the sump. I moved the spout up a bit and turned off the pumps and everything was fine. Thanks Marc!

However, while I was watching the sump and the separte fuge to be sure it didn't flow over again (No Marc, your sump still hasn't been installed. I'm about to give up on the local guy that was going to do it. Don't you want to come to Tyler Marc? ) I noticed the return pipe underneath the tank dripping. I guess kind of a semislow drip but steady. It appears to be leaking from where the return pipe enters back into the tank. I don't know if when I was wiggling around the return spout to its original position if I broke something loose or what. I did have to fool with it a bit to get it right.

So please tell me what I need to do?
I'm sure I'll be the one having to do it so please make it simple.

why do you turn the tank off at night? just out of curiosity.

At least some pumps should run 24/7 unless they're on a wavemaker.

I don't usually turn them off at night. I have a clam that isn't looking as good as it usually does and I was spot feeding with DT. I turned off my tunzes and main pump so that the DT would be more concentrated over the clam. I would only have them off about 15 minutes or so and then turn all of the pumps back on again.
