Oceanic 175 BF

[s2minute]

So folks, after about 20 years, the seals on the bottom front of my 175 BF started to leak. Right before my eyes btw. I redirected the plumbing and drained the tank. Sadly, these aquariums are no longer made this large in glass. I would like to reseal it. I had bought solvent in hopes of loosening the silicone under the braces. Has anyone attempted this? If I can save this aquarium, I would very much want to try. Any input please? Thanks!

This sounds like a job for a professional aquarium builder. @Joe Glass Cages - any thoughts?

You’re in Tennessee. I’m from Northern NY near Canada. You have repaired Bow Fronts of this size before? I would think the braces most difficult to remove without breaking.

Nope, called today. Joe Glass Cages does NOT reseal aquariums. Back to square one.

sorry we dont. We can actually build a new tank faster than a proper rebuild.

Good luck.
