reseal

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 recently bought a used 220 gallon tank, it was up and running when I bought it with NO active leaks. The guy I bought it from said it was about 10 years old and might need to be resealed in the future. I really don't want to completely dismantle the tank when it has no leaks. Should I redo the...

(Long story- but I'm a details guy. I need some help from the community!) I recently bought a house with an alcove under the stairs that was perfect for a nice big reef tank, and a built-in look. I've always wanted one. I was researching for weeks looking to get into the hobby, and find the...

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...

Should I reseal 300 g 8’ glass cages tank? It does not leak, although has flat nonsticky silicone on one corner and a chip in another corner. If so what type of silicone is ideal and can it just go over old silicone as long as it still touches glass? What about placing new pieces of glass on...

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.

57 Gallon rimless Deep blue 3' to 225 Gallon 6' in wall Ok so I have a waterproofing company coming to my basement soon and this means I need to tear down my current reef tank and move it to an area away from the outer wall of my basement. I see no reason in moving something I'm not 100% happy...

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...

Hey R2R, I just picked up a used CurrentUSA Solana tank. After doing some research they came out in about 2007 or so. I plan on redoing the stand as it’s quite dated.. but does anybody still have this tank today? I’m curious as to if I should strip down the inner seals and apply new silicone...

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...

Hi people of R2R. I got a used leaking 300-gallon deep dimension from a guy on my local Facebook marketplace. I knew that tank was leaking when I got it, so I paid 425 dollars to have the tank professionally resealed. I filled the tank up a week after getting it resealed, and it did hold water...

Deep Dimension Tank is 72 x 36 X 27 with low iron Starphire front, dual corner overflows, blue background Glass is in very good condition, sealant needs to be replaced (not holding water). Includes beautiful hardwood cabinet stand with LED lighting inside and removable side panels, canopy...

I found and bought a good deal (least I thought it was) on a drilled 210 reef tank. After bringing it home and before setting it up, my daughter and her friends (13 year olds) thought wow - that's big - bet we could fit in it. So I let them sit in it and take some pics. Fast forward a couple...

So I just completed my first/second reseal job on a 55 gal future sump tank. The first time I did it I attempted the finger method to smooth the seal and it looked terrible. I restripped, retapped, and resealed using a caulking tool on the 10 side (I suppose 10mm?). I’m on day 4 of leak test. so...

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...
