Hey thanks for the reply, it’s just shy of half an inch on each side. It was originally sealed with black silicone before I bought it.What thickness did you do inbetween the panes where they but up i dont see any black silicone inbetween there or what kind of reseal did you do?
So is the silicone clear inbetween the 2 where they meet in the corner? Normally there is silicone that needs to be inbetween that section. As long as there is no bubbles inbetween there you should be goodHey thanks for the reply, it’s just shy of half an inch on each side. It was originally sealed with black silicone before I bought it.
What do you mean disassemble? Like remove the silicone that is between the glass? No, I just removed the silicone on the edge. But I did clean it well, after using a razor blade to remove the silicone with some acetone. I was real thorough.When you resealed the tank, did you make sure to completely disassemble the entire tank and remove all of the original silicone?
I think it’s more so just that the pane of glass was sealed so close together before of the bottom “rim”, that it’s an extremely thin layer. Just my speculation. But on the outside of the tank you can see the original black silicone still on the corner, so it’s definitely blackSo is the silicone clear inbetween the 2 where they meet in the corner?

To reseal a tank correctly you have to completely take the entire tank apart, remove ALL of the old silicone from the glass panes and redo ALL of the seals as you put it back together. If you don't, you are asking for a leak.What do you mean disassemble? Like remove the silicone that is between the glass? No, I just removed the silicone on the edge.

Yea I see what you’re saying, I just feel like the tank size plays a huge role in this post. It was even mentioned that for a 300 gallon tank you can’t just reseal the corners.EMERGENCY - 300 gallon marineland deep dimension leak after professional reseal.
Hi people of R2R. I got a used leaking 300-gallon deep dimension from a guy on my local Facebook marketplace. I knew that tank was leaking when I got it, so I paid 425 dollars to have the tank professionally resealed. I filled the tank up a week after getting it resealed, and it did hold water...www.reef2reef.com
