It seems so easy, but if I'm being honest I have thrown away a tank or two when they leaked because i was scared to try and re-seal it, maybe if i run into that problem again I might actually try and re-seal it. Thanks for the video brother.
Man I hate re-sealing tanks! I may just have to do one soon though as my vintage metal frame 20 gallons old silicone seems to be coming off in spots. Someone re-sealed it without removing the old school black colored silicone/tar ?....they just put silicone over it. Video is right on time for me Cleve...thanks bro!
I recognize those shit aqueon tanks, lol. Buying those tanks at Petco during their dollar a gallon days is the reason I had to learn how to reseal tanks.
So I find after scraping all the silicone I prefer to use Acetone to clean the glass it works well removing those last little bits and evaporates really fast. So I edited out my part about the 7 minutes as I misunderstood your title. I thought you meant you can do it in 7 minutes my bad. 😢 But I hope we can agree to disagree with me, but personally I would have sealed the entire tank. I say that because new fresh silicone on old cured silicone can still leak over time with water pressure. With a small tank probably not an issue but with a large tank it for sure could be an issue better safe than for me. Rather have a fresh bead everywhere and cured all together just my opinion.
I would never put acetone in my aquariums but that’s just me. I’m also not ruining perfectly good silicone. No need to do all sides when clearly the leak came from one section. Again, that’s just me. And obviously the 7 mins was the video. Not everything that happened behind the scenes. Sounds like you’re leaving some shade on my light. Have a blessed day.

nice video
Thank you.
Your welcome anytime
Cleveland,where would I buy a scraper like that one?
Home Depot.
@@TheFishCorner Appreciate it.....thanks!!
is there a difference between silicone and aquarium sealant from the pet store?
Aquarium sealant is for aquariums and silicone that’s GE silicone 1 is safe. All others shouldn’t be used for aquariums.
Any thing labelled for aquarium use is marked up 400%. 100% Silicone Sealant is what you want from either the fish store or a home improvement store.

TIL that some caulk guns have tip cutters....
As far as I know, all of the have cutters at this point.
