What would you do?

im going to upgrade and get a bigger tank. i was looking around and found a 150 for 250$. and then i found a 180 for 150$ but the catch is that the top 1/3 leaks. so what would you guys do? buy the 180 and reseal it? just get the 150. i was thinking the 180 but i dont know if i trust myself to reseal it safely, my parents would be pretty mad if it broke/leaked

I would go with the 180.

Once its sealed simply fill it up in your garage or backyard for a few weeks just in case.

only problem with that is its starting to get cold were i live

doesnt matter, fill it up without fish....

only reason to fill it is to see if it holds water my friend.

i know with out fish, i was just thinking the cold water might affect it

Get the 180.

Re-sealing isn't has hard as you might think. The part that takes the longest is scraping out the old silicon and making sure the seams are REALLY clean. Practise on a small tank first, like a cheap 10 gallon. Remember to let the new silicon cure completely before adding water, at least two days.

The cold water shouldn't affect the tank.

Yeah, just get the 180 and reseal it. You can handle it.

I would play it safe with the 150, 30 gal isn't much of a difference.
