Has anyone ever resealed a tank around 125 gallons (72 x 18 x 20)? I just bought one from a guy, used, Wednesday. It has been filled since Wednesday night, but today one of the seams broke and the tank drained in my basement. Is it difficult to reseal a tank this size? I have never done it before. Or would I be better off finding a company that does it? I'm in Fraser, MI.

I'm in the process of resealing one of my large tanks too. From what I've heard, it isn't too hard and this video makes it seem like a piece of cake. I'm still trying to remove the old silicone though since the old owner did a craptastic job on it.
 
I'll probably need to remove the front pane of glass since it separated ftom one of the side panes. The frame of the tank is a 4 piece frame, so once I put the front face back on, what will hold it on while I reseal the inside seams?
