(OP)
How to be sure to have a leak free api tank bottom?. May be MT or PT will complement. In a ring type beam wall support is not easy to detect any leak, unless you have a membrane and leak detectors between bottom plate and soil, in our case we did not have membrane for the water tank.
I will appreciate your answers.

MT is useless in finding tiny, rounded defects. It will show them, but you won't be able to tell the difference between a valid indication and a tiny, incidental clump of MT particles.
*Piping Porosity has no visible bottom. Too deep to see where it quits.
