Answer 2

When I was a kid, our house was in the midle of nowhere two miles up a dirt road and we had a spring that fed our wood water tank. It was basicaly a huge barrel.

What we used to do was plug the gaps between the slats from the inside with a flat tipped screw driver and the moss that was growing on the inside of the tank.

trying to seal it from the outside my be a challenge.

Some adhesives may be unhealthy.

you didn't say what kind of tank. Plastic, metal, wood?

You may want to try epoxy putty. Either way, it's going to be tricky.

Answer 3

Silicone is correct-you can get it at Lowe's or Home Depot--it's also known as waterproof caulk. Only problem is it won't hold unless it's kept dry for at least a couple of hours. Is there some way you can stop the link temporarily or block it from the inside until the caulk dries.

Answer 4

None. Glue Won't Do The Trick.
