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 before actually setting everything up or if the original silicone should hold? It isn’t crusty or flaking off. Just the top right corner looked like the previous owner picked it off (no clue why) so I put new silicone over that.

It seems to be a very thick seal and water was kept in the tank throughout most of its life (from what I’ve been told).

Right now it’s in the garage on day two of holding water perfectly.

What do y’all think?

Thanks

Looking at that stand I'm more nervous about it than the tank seals... I guess play it by ear and see how the water test goes.
That's the original stand it's just a bad paint job haha. It's actually very sturdy and built of solid wood it seems.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
