I need help. Leaky Tank

[urbor]

So I have a 500 gallon glass aquarium. And the whole thing drained out the back bottom seam. The silicone seems to have split in the middle of it. It did not pull away from the glass. I have everything out of the tank now. And I want to have the tanked fixed. What would be the best way to go about this. I would actually like to pay some one to come to my house and fix it because moving such a large tank is not fun. I also live in ohio if anybody know anyone I should contact.

can you post pictures of the entire tank, and the failure please

I would start with your local fish stores.. See if they know or have anyone they use in the area to build tanks for them out of glass..

You could use RTV 108, same stuff used by the aquarium builders.

remove all silicone from the panes. Re-seal the pane on with RTV108, then put an inner seal of rtv in there.

Let dry/cure for at least 2-3 weeks.
