Okays, I have search and maybe I missed it. But I have a leak at where the pipe joins the tank. My tank is plastic with PVC piping. what has been the best over all fix for these tanks leaking at the seam?

Take a look at "plastic weld" in the message search.  It seems to be the preferred repair method.

If your tank is black in color, the ABS fix should work
If your tank is white in color then it is most likely is polypropylene and the best approach is plastic welding.
