I don't know about Austin, since I'm from Dallas. But I've called almost everyone in the DFW area asking to reseal a tank with a new piece of glass. I tried everything from glass companies to pet stores to custom aquarium builders themselves. Nobody is willing to fix it, mainly because of liability issues, regardless of whether I signed a liability waiver or not. The advice I got from most was to just buy a new tank. Of course it's not the best news to hear, considering I bought a 135 gallon and my moving person broke the tank the same day and I never got a penny back for it. :evil: I've done a lot of searching on the internet and found basically the same as what you posted already, about scraping every last bit of the old silicone from the area, cleaning it very well, and applying lots of new silicone, insert the new glass, make sure there's no air bubbles, and take it from there. I think it's a lot easier said than done, especially with large tanks. Someone else also told me that it helps to make sure you put the glass down and let all sides of the glass hit the silicone all at once, and this eliminates the chance of getting too many air bubbles. That's about all I know at this point, sorry it wasn't the best news, I know how it is! Best of luck to you![/list]
