Re-Silicon glass in glass (Need advice)
Hi guys, i have a 5x2.5x2.5 tank and its leaking. Suspect that the leak is at the front bottom side. But I can only see the leak through the cabinet as the tank edges is covered. It only leak when the tank is about 1/5 to 1/4 full.
The edges uses glass in glass. Any advice on how do i re-silicon it? Or is there any professional does this? Thanks! |

I would advise you to go back to your tankmaker.
Some doprovide warranty for up to 5 years. If warranty expired, get them to assess whether can resilicon back or get a new one instead. |

usually the tank maker will ask you to get a new one instead as part of the business = $$$ income....

Will contact the tank maker today.
The leak is about 1 drop per 5seconds. Tank is around 3 years old. Given by my friend. Tank is empty now. So repair can be done. |
