Here is my new project.
I have just got a AGA 72 bow front used and leaking (I was told it was a leaker,so I knew what I was getting) for $75..00
The tank leaks from the bottom only.
I have removed the silicon from the bottom leaving the side silicon connected to the bottom. In a few places the silicon under the sides is very soft.
I plan on using GE IS803 silicon.
I was planning on drilling the tank for the overflow but AGA/Aqueon could not tell me for sure if it was tempered or not. I will try looking through the glass at a white laptop screen. I tread if it looks distorted it is tempered.
I believe a drilled tank with a large enough sump is almost bullit proof for preventing floods. I am thing of using stand pipes but open to sugestions.
In a nut shell.
1. Should I be concered about the soft silicon under the sides.
2. Has anyone used the GE IS803 silicon.
3. Over flow if the tank can't be drilled.
Thanks
