Re-sealing a tank

[Beverly]

How hard is it to re-seal a tank? Is there anyone out there with some experience I can pay to do it for me? I am not sure I want to risk doing this myself and coming home to 100g of saltwater and coral in my living room. For those of you who know of my luck, if it will happen to anyone...it will happen to ME!

Also, I heard at one time if a glass center brace in a tank breaks or is removed, replacing the brace is basicly useless. Is there any truth to this? Do I just silicone a piece of glass back in replacing the broken brace?

I'm just tagging along on this one.

I've been thinking about maybe replacing my front pane in my display tank. Curious to know how long it takes to do something like this, too.

I had a leak and took my 150gallon tank to Forever Pets off of San Pedro. They charged me 135.00 to reseal the entire tank and move the back glass that had no scratches to the front. They charged me 15.00 to move my overflow boxes as well. The only concern they had was since i had overflow boxes on the back, was the sealant might have a shadow when then moved the back glass to the front. As far as i could see there was no problem. Hope this helps.

Ive tried but never been successful. And thats with spot resealing and a complete teardown, clean and reassemble. I would say yourself the fortune in sealant you'll spend and have a pro do it (like the place SKNR used).
