Love it these used to be in every pet store with live plants in them, they were made by Dutch something, they also used to make a turtle display tank, did it come with the original plumbing?

- 180 gallon diy help resealing
well some one took over my post lol. I am still waiting to order the silicone, I need to figure out how much tubes I need. Anyone have a idea?
Lol thread hi-jack at its finest. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, sometimes they happen by accident.
As far as the number of tubes, I have sealed smaller tanks before and used 2 or 3 tubes. I wish I could give you more information, but if I had to guess, at least 4-6 maybe? That might be too much for a guy who puts perfect thin beads down, but I like to tape and then lay a thick bead over tape. I'm pretty sure there is a YouTube video titled something like "180 gallon re-seal" or something like that. It's a good informative video. He explains how it's easier with two people, one to lay the bead, and one to quickly smooth it out, then quickly remove all tape. You must work fast. He also explained how much silicone he used. I'll do some searching and see if I can find you a link to that video.
