resealing

I just picked up a used 90G (rimmed) with acrylic sump for a decent price. This will be a long slow process for me (probably at least a year before I have it up and running as I need to accumulate the sump equipment, build the stand, cycle more rock, etc.). It is currently sitting in my truck...

Hello every one. Been a while since I have posted. Got a question on if an older 55 gal tank is worth the effort of saving. The tank was my brother's roommates tank that he had set up for a couple years that he himself had already bought 2nd hand and was setup for freshwater chiclids. He ended...

Hi. I bought a used redsea reefer 250 with damaged interior seams. I the price was cheap for the tank so I bought it and decided to remove and replace the interior seams, but I noticed I have cut into the main seam along the bottom too. I made sure to scrape off any residue silicone and I also...

I'm a newb. The long story is posted here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/a-beginners-story-dilemma-and-question-cry-for-help-bought-a-beautiful-260g-that-was-full-now-has-leak-after-professional-move-what-do-i-do.1005503/ That link above is the story of my finding a great working 260g tank...

Hi all, I'm hoping for some tips on repairing a leak. I have a Waterbox 130.4 that's been running for a little over 2 years. Two nights ago my water sensor went off, and I found a small but steady leak coming from the bottom back-right corner. I was able to remove a small corner of the thin...

I recently purchased a Innovative Marine 20 Fusion Pro but right before I started setting it up, I noticed these bubbles in the seam. Should I consider resealing? The bubble is about 2 inches in height and about a 1/4 of an inch wide. I plan on having the tank set up long term. Any advice will...

I have an all glass aquarium form 1984 and I had to redo the seal. It’s not beautiful or anything but I was wondering what you guys think about it.

There is a separation of the seam on the front glass on the bottom on RedSea Reefer 250 (56 gals). I bought the tank knowing it is there and willing to replace all seams if necessary. I am in need of ideas of how to go about this, it doesn’t pass the bottom glass pane. I was thinking of getting...

I just purchased my first saltwater aquarium. It is the Red Sea Max 130. I found it on marketplace and seemed like a great deal. After cleaning it up and filling with water I noticed a very small leak that would pool up slightly behind the control panel. I think it is leaking on the side and...

I purchased a used 100g tank that needs resealed which shouldn't be a big deal. It has euro bracing on the top and some sort of extra glass border around the inside of the bottom,that I think is just there to protect the corners down there. Since I don't know what it is called it's hard to...

There are really two questions in this thread. I have a scaquarium -100 gallon. The front lower seal gave way in one small section. Would you risk the fix and what is the best way to go about it? Or, ( this is for all of those engineers out there) can I put a different, smaller tank on my...

So I found a tank with a leak for sale, and if it works it's an upgrade from my current setup. Anyone have experience resealing tanks? The leak is at the base of the tank in a corner. I've watched YouTube videos on how to reseal and it doesn't look too difficult. Just hesitant to risk a...

Hey all i have a Q. There is a 150 gal. 48x24x30 aquarium offered to me for 100 dollars. It does need a complete reseal. I havent looked at it yet. I was curious how many of you have done a reseal of this size. How bad (in your own opinion) is this task? Thanks

Hey everyone, So i recently purchased a used Reef Savvy rimless 75 gallon that Im going to upgrade into. I bought it knowing some of the side seals are shot. I can peel the seals back with my finger nail and many of the sides look like they have been abused by a scraper for a long time. Ive...

Finally! I saved up enough money for a Red Sea Reefer!!! Actually, thanks to the power of craigslist and silicon I was able to restore a reefer that had a leak. I am by no means a expert at reef tanks nor DIY builds, but I guess we can learn together. A little background about me. I have had a...

They said it couldn't be done!!!! They might actually be right...... So it all started with a deal that was too good to pass up, two (2)... TWO 75 gallon tanks for $25!!! Picked em up from a local hobbyist/LFS worker after putting out an ad ISO: a 75g tank. He told me that they were in...
