I'll tell you I don't no how old the tank is bUt any used tank is very easy to re silicone as I just did with my 55 that tank is empty mine wasn't ,,GE silicone 1 is the way to go 5$; as far as splitting up the filters I can't c y not call 3478163920 ask for al ; he is a member and ask him🐙🐠🐳🐋

just keep in mind when resealing, new silicone does not hold to old dry silicone, so remove all old material

john fox September 27th, 2012 07:36 PM

Silicone
 
That what I did ; to remove old silicone I have a razor that's used to remove old inspection stickers; from there I used a hair dryer to dry out any water then gave 1 bead tooled with my finger . After 24 hrs I put a second bead waited 24 hrs and Alah so far so good no leaks .if anyone has a leaky tank I will service for them for a nominal fee with a 90 day warennty🐠🐠🐳🐳🐟🐋

They usually do not recommend putting a second bead
Like I said silicone does not hold long term to dry silicone.

stevem September 28th, 2012 05:00 PM

If it does not leak it is probably because the first bead did the trick, not the second

john fox September 28th, 2012 05:13 PM

1st coat.
 
I'll keep that in mind if I ever have to fix a leak again👻

repairing tanks
 
it takes sometime to scrape all the old silicone off.
I do not have the patience

jarradvarsi November 1st, 2012 02:29 PM

Just keep it very simple. It is very loudly

THE 55GAL STARTED LEAKIN AGAIN:((( SO WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A NEW ONE IM BRINGING THE OLD ONE TO THE AUCTION

repairing tanks
 
It is not easy to repair large tanks. There can not be any old silicone left. Silicone does not hold to silicone
You may get away with this on small tanks not on large tanks.
there is only one right way to properly repair a tank
that is to remove the glass pane completly to silicone
too much work

john fox November 17th, 2012 10:58 AM

Not only is it too much work I also lost fish in the process that in its self is not good😤😤
