Which silicone did you use to reseal the 220? You can't use GE Windows and Doors - I, you need to use something waaay stronger like GE RTV - 8 silicone.
As far as buying a new tank, you have C-List, OR you can buy directly from a manufacturer for a nice fee. Perhaps go acrylic? Won't have to worry about resealing tanks ever again!

CL man, we rarely get anything above 180 but we do get them, search frederick, baltimore, and other areas you are willing to travel to not just frederick.
www.glasscages.com have a pick up site that is around dc/md/va area. shipping charge to those location is not too bad. Depending how serious the leak is and your financial situation, a new tank upgrade is not a bad idea 
do you happen to have a picture of the leak area? Maybe when you reseal it, air got trapped causing a bubble. Did you scraped the old silicone off and cleaned the glass with alcohol before putting the new silicone?
