    Anyone have an idea how to reseal an 8 gallon biocube? Or, anyone done this in the past? I got a 8 gallon that was sitting around and it was resealed (not by me) and it did not pass the leak test. lol. So, I am looking to see if it was worth/possible to reseal the tank. Suggestions and advice would be extremely helpful.



    Thanks!

    Where is it leaking? The biggest issue I could see would be getting at all the seams since the overflow is built into the tank. You would almost have to take that all out, strip and reseal all the seams, then re install the overflow wall.

    It leaks at the bottom seal both in the front chamber and I am afraid in the back as well. I am thinking I am going to have to tear the whole thing apart to put it back together. (What are the odds of it actually working?). /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/sad.gif

    If done right, you shouldn't have issues, but is the time and effort really worth it?
