Hello all, I’m new to Saltwater keeping, and have had two freshwater tanks for a year already. I got a used 25 Gallon AIO waterbox and want to know if I should reseal the bottom. The guy used it for 4 years before moving to a bigger tank, and I think the bottom of the tank needs to be resealed due to wear and tear. See photo.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Welcome to saltwater tanks! Do you know who makes the tank by chance?
 
Do a water test. Fill it up with fresh water and take a look at it. If the water is protruding then yes seal it, if no water protrudes I think you’ll be fine. Also, you could just seal and and you’ll never have to think man I should’ve sealed it
