Anyone around lake Elsinore area that can fix a leaky tank?

Glass tank. Leaking in the corner. Would really rather not replace it if I do not have to.

Am I wasting my time? If not how much should this cost me?

Man...This brings back memories. Just so you know, youll have to empty the entire tank(water/sand everything) and re-silicone. Its easy, but the fact that youll need to let the silicone cure and your corals and fish in a bin sux.

Actually wait...Where is the leak exactly. If its at the sand level then youll have to do what I said above. If its up in the middle of the tank or higher SSSooooooo much easier.

Where are you located? I work for frags

Damn. That is extremley far.

Yeah. You'll have to completley empty and dry it. Add silicone over existing silicone. I wouldnt razor out existing silicone because you might weaken the tank when moving it around and it wont be parrallel anymore. So since your adding silicone over the existing silicone be sure that the new sealent get to touch some of the glass corners where they meet to ensure that it will be sealing something.

Is this the 210g? Or the 90g.

I did a 90g with the help of someone and it was exhausting.

anyway it should cost you 5$ for silicone and ALOT of labor, and a horrible beach smell around the house.
