Resealed Tank

[boadams87]

Im thinking about getting another 150 gal but he's resealing it. Will it be ok after it sits and cures? He's gonna refill and put the fx5 back on it. Please I need help!!!!!

I would make sure the tank sits for at least a week with water in it. Also let it cure for a week if possible. My dad redid a 30g once and it held water for about a week. Then one night he had water all over the ground. I then took it upon myself and tried it. It has been holding water for 10 days now. I'm debating on when to take the water out to be honest.
I am not sure of a tank that big though. Does I have a rim on it? I am sure someone will chime in who has resealed tanks as well.

I told him to let it sit with water about a week or longer with the pump running so the movement of the water would help test the strength of the seals. He says he has resealed b4.

Yes its got a rim

The rim will help hold the pressure of water. The pump thing is a good idea though. I never thought of that. Hopefully mine is still good...just make sure it holds water and it should be fine IMO but I haven't fixed a big tank before.
