Owb51 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 My 20 gal tank has a large crack in the black trim and is leaking around the seal. What can I fix this with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

face Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I’d probably just get a new one to but if your really going to repair it you cut the old silicone with a razor making sure to not cut the silicone between the glass itself makes sure it’s completely clean of old silicone I used some acetone to completely clean it and scraped it then new silicone followed by a long leak test and that’s if the trim isn’t structural if it is your going to have to engineer a new system to hold it together 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owb51 Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 Thank you. I’m going to give it a try just to see if I can do it. If it fails, it’s no big deal, I can just put a small reptile in it. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I would just buy a new one, however it does present you with practice, in case you ever have to do it again, you’ll have a bit of experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
