Resealing my 55 gal tank.

My 55gal tank recently decided that it wanted to start to leak. So I had to remove all of my fish, 18 Angelfish, one pleco, one SAE, and two otos. The Anglefish are ones I raised from eggs. I had to move them to my sisters house and kept some of them in my 29 gal. Pic of the refugees in the 29 gal:

Resealing my 55 gal tank

Here is the equipment I got to do the resealing. I'm not going to take the panes apart, I'm just redoing the inside seams. If it doesn't work, oh well. I really don't feel like going through all the trouble of taking the panes apart. Who knows though, I might!



GE Silicone I, Masking tape, and Bead Finisher. I have razor blades, Rubbing Alcohol, Acetone, Cottonballs, on standby for later.

I used the following thread as a guide:
