I have a 20L tank which I had been using for the past 4 months to hold fish. The tank itself is an All-Glass, about 13 years old ( I bought it new). For a few years after I bought it, I kept hamsters in there. They did gnaw at the corners and edges. It wasn't until Sep 2005 that I put water in it. It went 4 months without leaking and I finally got too paranoid and drained it. I upgraded to a new 30 gallon.
But I still have a hood for the 20L and would like to use it (the tank) if I could be sure of its integrity. Is there any way to know if it will hold up? The silicone is not yet yellowed, cracked, or stiff. Would a re-siliconing be the only safe route?
