hi, yesterday my 125 started to leak from the seams.I am going to try to reseal it today, but i was wondering since my fish are in a plastic tub can i use a heater in it or no?

I have with no issues, as long as it stays submerged.

I've always put a small piece of glass under the hot part of the heater when using them in plastic tubs as they can get incredibly hot. Last thing you want is the heater melting a hole in the plastic!

Just to be safe, put the heater in a ceramic garden pot

If the smell from the silicone is gone you should be ready for a test fill, good luck.
