    yeah you can reseal tanks, need to scrape all the old silicone off of it first and use marine grade silicone.

    tanks can last a long long time as long as you take care of it, seal it when theres a leak, dont hit it with a hammer. you know what i mean

    I've had my 30-gallon AGA (freshwater set-up) for 18 years now and it went through two moves and is still leak free!
