Re sealing a tank

[Jan]

I've just aquired a 55 gallon tank and stand . Some of the silicone is peeling off. Can the tank be resealed? Would it be as good as if it came from the factory? How would I do this?

1- Yes, it can be resealed

2- As good as from the factory depends on how good you are at re-sealing an aquarium But mostly depends on removing the correct amount of existing silicone and reapplying the correct amount of new silicone.

3- Can't help you too much on the how to. I think there are others in the club that have done this successfully.

??? No one else has a reply with how to do this?

Jan-

Make sure you use tape to get crisp clean edges on the silicone.
