I am in the pre-planning stages of setting my 300g back up. I would like to have the seals redone but do not feel comfortable doing it myself. Does anyone know of someone local who can do this? It's a glass tank with 1" panes so it would need to be done on site.

It took every bit of energy from 4 of us to get it in there.... heavy is not the right word for that tank....lol
I wanna redo the seams before that thing gets moved anywhere. Heath is a saint. LOL
I'm seriously considering leaving the tank in the garage and making a cutout in the back wall so that the tank can be viewed from inside the bonus room- basically making an in-wall build.

that would look awesome...! but you'll go to some electricity keeping temperature in that thing
The stand is in the bonus room. The tank is still in the garage. The stand takes up a ton of room and if I can keep the tank in the garage (although in a different place) and have a viewing window it will save a ton of room inside.
Yeah, Dave, the 1" glass is overkill.

honestly a reseal isnt that hard to do. A rebuild is.
Ive done quite a few reseals, even my 200g sump.
Just get a razor blade and cut out the silicon in the corners(not between the glass). Get every scrap off and I mean everything! Then clean it with some rubbing alcohol and put in the new silicon.
A good tip is to wet your finger with soapy water and then mush the bead into the corner(dont press to hard to you will just squeeze most of it out)
