I just acquired yet another 55 gallon tank and I know it leaks from the bottom seal but I'm curious to learn how to reseal the tank since other then the small leak its in great shape.

Its glass with plastic bracing and its rectangular in shape any info would be much appreciated

I highly recommend that video, and check out his video on making a glass tank as well. you can check other great stuff on his forum as well. DIYfishkeepers.com
 
Yea I watched his video and it is good and has me convinced I can do this but in his video he says to use GE Silicone Type 1 Window and Door. I have contacted all the hardware stores in my area and cannot find this stuff anywhere and the only ones on Amazon are listed at 49 bucks...Is there another type that would be fish safe or are any of the type 1 window and door silicones safe?

OK I've got it ordered should be here in a few days...I went ahead and removed the top plastic trim and all the old silicone got it cleaned up nicely...I found the corner that was leaking had little to no silicone even attached so amazed it didn't blowout...Wish me luck I normally just throw out a leaky tank but this one was too nice to trash
