Resealing a used tank

[FishtheShark]

As the title suggests, I am considering resealing a used tank I recently picked up. It is a Redsea 525xl. Not sure the age of the tank but I am aware there has issues with leaking. My question is whether I should just fill the tank and monitor for leaks for a week or so, or just go ahead and strip and reseal. Obviously the latter is the safer option, just wanted to know others’ thoughts on whether it’s worth the trouble or a leak test would be sufficient.

If the glass is good with little to no scratches, I would strip it down to individual pieces of glass, clean up the edges and re-seal it.
Otherwise I wouldn't touch a Red Sea tank.

That’s what I’ll do then. Tank looks to be in great shape. But I’d rather not flood the house. Thanks for the reply.
