i recently aquired a 220 gallon tank in the house i moved into ( and i had to use some ancient egyptian stone moving techniques to slide it into the garage) well, the silicone is old and i am told it leaks a little.

i need to reseal it and i need to know the best way to go about doing this. should i strip away all the old silicone or just seal over the old stuff? will it be stable if i take all the silicone out of it?

and on a side note there is a 140 gallon too but the whole back glass piece is broken, and will need to be replaced ..



is it worth it to fix that one? what about putting ply wood in there, sealing it and making it a herp tank?

can the wood and glass be successfully bonded together?

anyone know how much that new glass piece will cost me by any chance?

its about 71" long x 22" high and 1/2" thick ,its not tempered, the crack is straight and long all the way across the back.

thank you
