How to reseal a tank ?

[Kif]

Picked up a 150x60x45 for £20 because it has a leak on the bottom rear seal, done quite a bit of research and I'm pretty confident I will be able to fix it by removing and replacing all the inner secondary seal, but should I cut the base loose and do the primary seal as well ? Looking for a bit of advice if anyone can help.

Thanks for the reply Viktor will have a read.

Spent a "fun" afternoon on my hands and knees cutting out the secondary seal, most of it removed just got the 4 corners left then will start cleaning the glass for the reseal.

Take pics and come back with updates on the tank after you are done, if you will. Good luck

The 55 gal I resealed (which is described in that thread) held up very well (~2 years) until the day my wife and I moved it (holding the stand, not the tank) ~5' over. I probably left ~5 gal of water in it and some gravel, which, I think, was a mistake. In a week or two after that move, the tank started leaking.

Will get some pics over the weekend.
