Using a Resealed Tank

[chrfrancis]

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a used 90 Gallon tank and after getting it home and water testing it I noticed that it had a small leak. I found an individual on craigslist who charged me $120 to reseal it from the ground up. He used Momentive 100 Series Silicone and direct injected it. Below are pics of the job in progress and the end result. I guess my main question is, should I trust the tank or buy a new one?

Doesn't look very good. I have resealed a tank and used it just fine. It was a 5ft tank. That doesn't look very clean. There are a few cideos online with tips so you can do it yourself. Once you're done throw some water in it and let it sit for a week or until you trust it.

I just got it home and the seams actually look pretty clean. I will try to take some pics with more light and post them.

The seal looks pretty clean to me.

Got you. The other pics weren't as good as these. I think you should be okay as long as you water test.

Yep, definitely going to test. The guy had some other bigger tanks he was working on as well.
