I have built quite a few tanks in the past and had to replace the side glass in my current 270G tank ... the garrote method works quite well for tank repair.

The reason to resilicone is if the sides have bowed it may have put stress on the main edge seals ... the inside seal is not for strength but to make sure the tank is waterproof

take it for what it's worth ... I have Scottish heritage too ( going back a long ways ) so maybe that is why I would resilicone it rather than buy a new one :wink:

Whats with all hate towards PITA's? I love Pitas, little lettuce creme cheese,ham and tomato, not only do you have a nutricious delicious lunch its fun to eat too, neato!

They use pitas when making falafels don't they? How can you trust a sandwich that has awful right in its name :surprise:

No hard feelings B. and R. :smile: Just two different perspectives.

The bowing when the tank was full was something that occurred since it was first set up, I assume because when you've got a 6 foot pane of glass with all that pressure and no center brace it'll just happen. The tank has been moved several times though. I guess it's just a roll of the dice at this point. Maybe I'll just stick with the terrarium/paludarium theme. If anyone's interested, here's a few pics of when it was set up as such.

That is cool, what do you have in it? Other than dirt and fog. :lol:

That's cool, I love paludariums. Where did you hide the fogger? I always wondered if having the fogger in the same water the frogs go in would be bad for them?

I had some wood frogs in there, and a lot of earthworms. The fogger was hidden in the corner behind the driftwood with the powerhead that was feeding the stream. I don't think it would have been harmful to them unless they jumped on top of it.
