Hey guys, my brother has just got his 6x2x2.5 marine tank out of storage, after 13 years and wants to sell it however i suggested that he should get it resealed. Does anyone know the cost of resealing a tank of this size?

if he separated all the glass and spotlessly cleaned all the silicon off im sure it wouldn't be too much  that's what takes the time all the fiddly bits :(

Not if the tank was done properly.
I had to remove a glass corner box from a cube for a job and I tell you, i swore like never before (in Italian of course so people wouldn't understand :P ) and I wouldn't do it again for any money. I had cuts everywhere

Super glue and sticky tape fixes all.
