Tank repair Question?

Do those chips look that bad? Hard to tell from the pic, but not to me?

 

no just the one I took a picture of

 

there not that bad

 

You cant do one corner at a time unless you are just adding silicone to the existing corners. He is talking about the silicone between the panels that the original manufacturer built.

 

Robman your right it's the silicone between one of the panels its like 3 to 4 inches in length that looked like it separated.

 

I'll get a couple tubes of silicone let it set in the garage on the floor if it leaks it will just run out the door worth spending ten bucks. I even thought of taking it apart cutting the glass down and re sealing it completely. Won't cost me much at all to do that.

 

I will be curious to see how that goes...I have never seen anyone take the glass completely apart, and re-build. Keep us posted!

 

I hear ya about not costing much. But there are a ton of tanks on Craigslist as full set ups that go cheap. But your tank is free & only has the cost of silicone. I always see a lot of tanks for sale but very few are drilled. That's the only reason I kept my 56 drilled & I'm gonna reseal it & get some cash back out hopefully. I'm gonna wait to sell mine until I build my new hood, so I can sell that's with pc 's along with tank & sump. Not too many people here are willing to put in time to fix things. I understand cause I work 12 hr days & time is very precious to me.

 

I drilled all my tanks. I have the hole cutting bit. So I will be able to drill new holes when done. If it turns out ok I will set up a planted fresh water aquarium with Discus and plants in it. Maybe! We will see.
