Problem.... Turtles needed a bigger home I say....Expand the tank size I say... it will be fun I say.... cant find anything local... look on craigs list I say....
"Huston... we have a problem"..... so I should have figured there had to be some sort of leak or spill when the corner of the tank had calcification .... should have filled it half way to check first... yeah.. hind sight....
anyway.... I have located water 'seeping' from a small area on the front right aquarium vertical edge.
I obviously need to drain the water, dry, scrape, clean and re-silicone.... however... I see a few conflicting views on the web and reaching out to see if anyone has recommendation here.....
Some of the views say to NOT DISTURB the vertical seam between the glass pane and only remove the inner silicone ON the glass/corner edge ONLY.
however... then I see some say to run a flat razor through the glass pane seam and when silicone the edge... push into that seam and then continue to run a bead on top?
Oh boy....
My plan at this point is to just remove the vertical silicone on the inside and leave the actual 'seam' (glass edge to glass edge) alone on that one leak.... and then also seal all four OUTTER edges with the Flex Seal Liquid -Clear.
Chime in please!! anyone with suggestions or experience greatly appreciated!!
