Reseal In and Out 175 Bow tank

[hungvanvo]

After a week process to reseal in and outside 175 Gal Bow tank ( I got it from Chirshem , Very nice tank and love it ) Here are my work to the tank:

Pic 1 & 2 : Before seal inside the tank look.

Pic 2 & 3 : Seal inside with black aquarium silicone ( Do not take old silicone out, clean 2 to 3 times with alcohol Apply new silicone on top old one because I want keep the old silicone between the glass and also so I do the out side corner guard )

Pic 5 : Corner Guard from Hone depot for outside four corner ( paint black to math with the black silicone .)

Pic 6 & 7 : Before real 4 corner outside

Pic 8 & 9 : After glue outside

Pic 10 &11 : The inside look after 2days reseal
12 &13

Pic 14 : Remove black old paint and apply deep blue paint ( 3 coat blue and 1 black coat outer)

Pic 15 &16 : Outside look After 3 days. I love it hold water and four corner outside turn out look great.

Total cost : Electric tape : $2.00
1 tube black aquarium silicone : $8.00
1 tube glue outside : $7.00
1 corner guard 8 feet :$8.00
Some razor blade & alcohol
So it less than $30.00 to reseal tank .
Option Paint cost : $ 14.00 for 3 can.

Next week will do another project seal and buff the 175 gal acrylic.
