    Does anyone around Cedar Rapids do tank resealing for a fee? I have a 150 cube, great shape no leaks but cosmetically the blaçk silicone is pretty beat up from algae scraping. I am looking for someone willing to do the inner layer to improve how it looks...it should not need to be dismantled.

    Make sure there is good silicon between panels and then razer blade off sides. When this is done use a good cleaner to clean area were you removed silicon and then use tape to make new silicon edge on both sides of panels about 1/2 inch from edges. . Calk a fine bead of black silicon in corner then a larger one after that using your finger run up the corner from bottom to top.The silicone will go onto tape and when your finished remove tape and you have a great looking new line of calk. If you cant find some one to do it.

    Thanks kp....do I need to do the top and bottom (horizontal joints) or can I just do the vertical joints if the silicone between the panes look great? Most of the references I find are talking about a leaky tank. This thing is water tight it just has the cosmetic issue.
