Bob's recommendation to use aquarium tank caulking is probably better than using epoxy. You should prep and clean the surface the same as for epoxy. I keep forgetting about silicone sealants because I just haven't used them very much.
With the correct surface preparation a good silicone sealant should adhere just fine. The silicone sealant's elastometric properties could make it more durable than epoxy in the long run for repairing the water tank.

The problem with the silicone based products is that they just peel away after they dry on the paint the builder used. Seems like nothing sticks to it. That's why he recommended the white glue mixture so it would seep into the seam and not be able to pull away.
