If this is the case (and I'm not saying that it's not) wouldn't he need to remove all the silicone and reseal the entire tank? If you only remove the silicone from one joint then eventually you'll end up overlapping the existing silicone at the top and bottom...right?slipknottin said:
Thats what I was afraid of. My fish are fine now, placed into a cycled tank with two filters (it had one, no sense having the bacteria colony from the leaker dying.)
So I should buy a new tank. (Seeing as how its the odd shape of the aquarium, I can understand. Cant imagine how I would take it apart and reassemble it... I'll probably give it a try in the spring.)
Thanks again everyone.

I guess it's going around because my 55 gal. sprung a leak. I just don't have the space to keep the fish for a few days while I try to fix the leak. Plus, the post who noted that the leaks eventually come back was very disheartening. It's on to google to look for acrylic tanks. Good luck to all fellow leakers (or is it leakees?).
