Help - My first reseal was no fun :/

[BabZ]

Fishland is where I got the 75 from, they gave me a great deal :)

I agree with hung. It should be fine. A few air bubbles in the silicone is not as bad as a few bubbles under the silicone. Hung is a pretty handy guy.

Thank you sir.

A. Hung, can you post a link please. So now you have silicone inside and outside.

Hi Phuong, Hung don't have a link and these pictures are some old reseal tank that Hung done last year and it work well. please let me know if you need some help on the reseal Hung will share everything I know with you.

Sorry to hear that Babe!

Go to Fishland and buy yourself a brand new tank. He has some good deal going on.

I just bought a 75 due to the 180 leaking now :/
I'm up to my elbows in leaking tanks lol.

Once I get the new one set up I'll have a bit more time to consider all the options. When it rains it pours certainly is fitting in my house right now!

I guess I should have clarified that I'm a "better safe than sorry" kinda guy

Haha nothing wrong with that bro!

IMG_0180-Optimized.jpgIMG_0195.jpgit will do fine for few year until the silicone get harder than the water will getting the pocket air. As i would do go to Home Depot buy the corner guard ( less than $10) and apply with Lexal or silicone and you will good for leak free.

I think it'll be okay. Just keep an eye on it.

Just wondering what causes the bubble though?
Is it because too much silicone or you doing it too fast?

I think the problem was I didn't press into the corner hard enough. That was the last area I had to do and was feeling the effects of the fumes lol.

No problem. Best of luck with the tank!

[BabZ]

I know I should try to fix it but I have more money than sense at this point... may be all the fumes from the silicone talking lol.
I'm ready to downsize too so it may be better in the long run.
Thank you so much for all your advice. I knew I was coming to the right place :)

It could be fine, but I find it's best not to take chances when dealing with 125 gallons of water. It will be easier to remove before it's fully set. You might as well give it another shot if you still have supplies leftover. Tanks that need reseals aren't worth much so it wouldn't hurt to give it one more try before selling
