Okay,
So like many others my bottom seal failed. Lost most of the corals, but did manage to drive 3 hours from vacation and rescue my fish. Thank goodness for water alarms!
Anyways, so yeah not the best situation, but I’m trying to salvage the tank. I bought it used and it went 5 years before the seal broke. (I knew the used was a risk, but it would be out of warranty regardless).
An import note is that my tank is not over hanging like most Red Sea tanks.Most hang the front panel over the cabinet doors, but I built a custom stand for it.
Now, so my plan is pretty simple. I want to Silicone a 57.75 x 6 inch 1/2 inch glass piece on the bottom front of the tank. Create a new seal. I use crush coral so the look doesn’t matter to me. However, will this hold? I’ve done it with other tanks in the past, but nothing this big. I’m no stranger to silicone, but what’s everyone’s take on this?
