11 years later and still useful

Exactly what i was looking for, thanks

By far the best video on resealing an aquarium!

This is my first reseal and this was the best video, especially for smoothing the silicone. You did it several times to remove all the excess and made it very smooth. I will attempt to do it your way.

Thanks Steve. Great video. Fixing to do my 100 gallon that sprung a leak

Thanks for your expertise Steve. You have given me, like so many others, confidence to strip & reseal my aquarium.

Please help me I have a 125 that had bulkheads in it. I want to seal with glass and the holes are about 3 in and my question is how thick of glass do I need and does it matter if the glass patch is round or square ? I have the aquarium safe silicone already and know the patch has to be a few inches bigger then the hole. Thank you

thank you 😊

great tutorial easy to follow and mimic, appreciate all the details!

10 year update on tank? Still holding up?

Which one is better? SELSIL Aquarium Silicone Clear Sealant VS Aqueon Fish Tank Silicone Sealant

Too bad GE Si is now using mildew and mold resistant properties

Winner of the "Just Shut-up And Show Me Already" award for Jan. 2023. Thank you for your service.

I just got a new 75 gallon tank and was wondering, since the reviews were about leakage, would i be able to just throw a large bead of silicone with the existing seal?

Putting tape too far away from seam defeats the purpose of the tape.

Is there any fish you should Not use it for? P.s. nice fish room and great KZbin name

On the back of the bottle, it says not for aquarium use

This is the best video on this topic, but, trust me, acetone works better than alcohol. I'm in the process of using it and a razor blade to remove a thick coat of paint off my 220 gallon tank and redoing the silicone inside the tank. You can buy a gallon of pure acetone on Amazon.

Super solid video man thanks for posting this. I myself bought a 90 gallon tank for only $50 on Facebook marketplace and need to reseal it as well, so this video gave me quite a bit of confidence to do so.

This is so educational. Thank you

Great job, nice video

When spreading the silicon out with your finger aren’t you worried that you’re taking too much off? Will it not get a proper seal?

I'm scared about scraping the old silicone too hard and damaging the factory seal on the seams

Emulate this people! To the random reader: Remember fish in the Amazon will one day be extinct due to the kerosene dumping of cocaine manufacturing and deforestation. There are many species extinct that we have never even discovered. It hasn't really hit home yet and maybe it never will if we keep on top of our environment but there are clowns running the show where strangers are not allowed to go.

Congratulations on the family. :-) hope you get back into the hobby again. For now I'm sure you're working 80 hours a week 😂. Thank you for the videos that you have uploaded and I hope many here benefit from them.

I hope Steve is still doing this. Thank you.

So well demonstrated, thank you

Best video

He said "Back Black-ground" twice! lmao. Nice video though.

The scraping Silicone of sucks a bit lol but I mean it’s worth it I guess

Thank you!

How do you know the manufacturers date on the tank where does it say that ?

The aquarium that i wanted to reseal has a bit complicated piece of glass at the bottom, can't even scrap it. The aquarium Leaked before. Left it for month after feeling helpless, now it's a little bit dusty. I'm gonna get my brother to help

Using this method today thanks

Thank you so much for this video!

When do lemon Jakes start to get their color? I have a couple that I got indexed and are about 2 inches or so maybe a bit bigger but still just clans almost like females

Thank you for this tutorial. I have a 75 that I want to reseal before I set it back up. I’m nervous about doing it myself but I feel much more confident after watching this video.

How long after you reseal it can you fill it with water?

I have a drilled tank with an overflow. How do I do the corner overflow? Same as the corners?

Tape pull @ 10:13! 😂

How is this tank still doing today? My 110 gal blew a seal and I cannot get it replaced during the pandemic. I noticed you did not take the glass pane apart to get the silicone out from between the panes.

ScubaSteveAquatics, thank you for posting this. I figured the process was simple to reseal an aquarium but wanted to see someone do it that has experience. Great advice and great video. I feel way more confident in doing this. Have a great one!

4:11 no u said it right the first time

Thank You

8 years later and this video is a massive help. thank you!

Is it possible to only repair the bottom corner ? Or would I have to completely strip the tank and start over ? I messed up in one spot Edit : it’s a 90 gallon

Silicone 1 has on the back of the tube “not for underwater/aquarium use”

Very helpful! Thanks! I just got a 10gal with a filter, heater and light for $30, bit o enof the seals is missing a large portion and I was wondering how I was going to fix it. This is my answer.

Thank you for the best tutorial, my husband tried resealing 130g tank and made a big mess. I watched ur video so now i can do it for him and make him happy 😃 😁

Thanks this video helped! I followed your instructions and it's my first time took me about a full day to get old silicone scraped and tank cleaned. Going to seal it today once again thanks I had no clue how to go about it 👍
