Ok I found this Aqueon 110X on CL for $40 with a stand so I jumped on it 110X Rehab 690297

It needs a reseal so i called Aqueon and they are going to send me the factory silicone free of charge to reseal it yes

Apparently any tank over 65 Gallons and built 2007 and later has a lifetime warranty rock on

The gentleman I spoke to on the phone was very polite and offered the silicone to seal it just out of hand even though the tank was obviously built before 2007 as it has no center brace and never has 110X Rehab 393849

He also gave me the part# for the upper perimeter brace with a center brace

So Aqueon has impressed me and I will continue to purchase their products this is my 3rd aqueon tank lol!

Now on to the tank these are the only pics I have of it right now

110X Rehab DSC00004

110X Rehab DSC00005

as you can see it was a sw tank but I will use it for fresh water

both taken in the dark with my cell phone camera

I will go pick the tank up from my daughters house this weekend as I couldn't squeeze it into the back seat of my car :)

Then i can get some better pics

The Plan is to clean it up and reseal it then remove the black paint someone used on the trim pieces and strip the black paint off of the stand

I plan on taking pics of all the steps and posting here

Dimensions are 48.5x18.5x32 outside

Great deal. I have bought some stuff off craigs list and gotten some great deals, mostly because people 'dont have time for it anymore' or 'its to much woork' and just wanna get rid of it.

Ok here's the next installment crazy

It took about 4 days for the silicone to arrive they sent me 1 large tube 110X Rehab 393849

which should be plenty to reset the whole tank

here's a pic of the leak test in progress lol!

110X Rehab DSC00015

looking good so far however when it got about 3/4 of the way to full the front left (as pictured) seam blew out affraid

so I will have to remove the front sheet of glass and reset it 110X Rehab 265353

however this is also where the girl I got it from said it was leaking so even though she is a horrible housekeeper she told the truth good

I am going to just cut the whole tank apart and reseal it from the ground up because it has had several partial reseals over time I am also either going to build a center brace for it or buy a new top trim piece with a center brace 110X Rehab 772341

also on closer inspection of the stand the wood is salt water bleached so I will just repaint it black

So stay tuned for the next exciting installment
