    “New” 125 gallon

    Got a deal on a 125 gallon tank from FB market place... $50 with stand. Mind you it’s an odd shape 125, 6’ w, 1.5’ deep, and 22” tall. The prior owner had limped this tank along with copious amounts of additional silicone so the clean up will be daunting. Are folks still using GE-1 black...

    Resealing a tank

    hey guys, so I have to reseal a couple tanks. And I read many times that you have to let the silicone sit for 2 days before adding water. But, the silicone I bought, Aquascape clear silicone, says, “allow silicone to dry for 30 minutes before allowing contact with water”. I’m just interested, do...

    Aquarium reseal? or Complete tear down?

    How do you if an aquarium need "simply" a full reseal or it needs to be completely disassembled ( glass apart ) and re siliconed completely? I am buying a 220 gallon off craigslist which is roughly and hour away. The sellers have been upfront and said it had a leak which is why I am...

    180G refurbishment

    Hello guys I recently purchased a used 180g cadlights (72 x 24x 24) i plan to reseal the inside since some silicone appears to be damaged by most likely a razor blade style glass cleaner. I also notice the top glass brace is cut to fit the overflow box which i found odd and i would think would...

    replacing a broken aquarium frame

    I'm working on re-sealing a 75 gallon and the frame cracked in the process. I found a website that has a good price but I am concerned about a statement in their FAQ section. They said that a well constructed tank doesn't need frame for support but it is more for Aesthetics. That is the...
