Remove all sillicone sealer
Remove all sillicone sealer
Biggest tip I can offer is to remove all of the silicone sealer that you can from the whole tank. Dont break the other glass to glass seals other than the panel you are going to remove. Then cut the seals between the old glass front and the end and bottom pieces. remove glass and remove every bit of silicone from the old glass ends and bottom where they meet the new glass front.
If the tank has a trim around the top, do not forget to seal that too.
There are some aquarium resealing instructional vidoes on you tube that can help.
Plan to spend several hours prepping for the reseal, and about 20 minutes to actually apply the sealant. Let sit in place 48 hours before moving the aquarium.
