My 125 sprung a leak a few weeks ago. The leak is on one of corner seams up near the top of the tank. I can see where the panels have separated over time.

So do I - pop all the panels apart and replace all of the silicone or do I just need to replace the silicone inside? Just how exactly is best do I do that? Razorblades and elbow grease?

Just trying to think my way through the project first before I screw it up. My brother-in-law will be over this weekend. Hopefully he doesn't wimp out and complain about a bad back. I want this thing moved out to the garage so I can start working on it.
 
I asked the same question of an older tank I'd just picked up and the consensus was tear it down and re-do the the silicone. That way you know it's done and you'll get another 10 years out of the tank. It'd suck to repair the leak to find there's another in a few months.
