Safe to use

[bero4666]

Hi guys! First time posting… this is used 30g..
I was hoping to get a bit of advice on the best way to go about it… do I need to take the whole panel off a reseal it? I’m a bit hesitant since I’ve never done it before, so wanted to
double check with you guys to see if that’s my only option.
Thanks in advanced

I'd re-seal it. I don't think it's a question of "if" but "when" that seam is eventually going to fail.

I'd 100% reseal any second hand tank, this is not a deterrent as I prefer second hand because you save a heck lot more money! Resealing is so much easier then you think

Google it

Buy good silicone
Get a razor and trim away the old silicone
Tape for a neater finish and seal with fresh silicone
Water or vinegar on your finger and run over the new silicone for a nice finish bead

Honestly don't be intimidated take your time anyone can do it. It's more of a art then knowledge

Thanks for the encouragement, I’ve got two weeks before my lights arrive so I’ll take my time and get it done.

I replaced the front glass on my Waterbox20. Very simple and easy process. The worst part was how time consuming it was to make sure all the silicone was removed.
