fix,buy new, give up

[chefsreef]

so i just had some real bad luck. my tank sprung a leak in the front silicone. water all over the place. i to make it worst i cant find the receipt .
that leves me with 3 things i can do.
1 - cut out old silicone and redo it my self.
2 - buy a new tank a 125 or 150 or maybe 180
3 - just give up on the hobby , but i love it so much.

don't give up.. if you have the time and patience then just do it yourself.. if not see if someone else will do it for you or just sell it as is and put the money towards a new tank

sell it as a reptile tank. i wouldn't trust a repaired tank you really can't get the silicone inside the joint. for a few hundred bucks is it worth hundreds in damage. besides perfect opportunity to go bigger if your equipment can handle it.

I agree, buy a new one or look for a used one and do a leak test first.

Call the manufacture , I am sure the sticker on bottom of tank has a number or somthing that they can go by to see the age and when tank was made. Cant hurt to give it a try.

Chefsreef don't throw in the towel this hobby can have some serious up and down and I know right ur at a low but stick in there bro as far as that sealing the tank that don't always work and plus if u already having trouble with this tank I think ur better if with a new one not necessary new but a different one than the one u currently having issue with I local to u bc also lmk if u need anything to help u out a little and gl with what ever direction u go

Deff hang in there and just buy a new tank.

 

[nyprdr]

if you decide to get rid of the tank lmk what you want for it... I don't see why so many people are scared to fix a leak... very simple just time consuming

buy new and dont give up cause you know what happens in the end you end up coming back and having to rebuy everything
