OK! So I have by 75 gallon and 20 gallon long cleaned up and resealed! I've been scouring craigslist and doing alot of reading.
Here's what I'm thinking - Evo 180 skimmer, mag sumpreme 9 return pump, 2 hydor koralia 750 phs, and taotronics lighting.
Will this be sufficient for my total...
So I found a brand new 40 gallon breeder tank on CL for 30 bucks, and snagged it, thinking I'll use it for SOMETHING, maybe even my sump for my 75... Is this too big for a 75 gallon sump?
I've got all my old silicone cleaned off and I'm ready to start resealing.
One question that slipped...
Those TaoTronics look great! Looks like unless your are getting really advanced that's the way to go. Thanks for the heads up.
A little update on my tank. I got the bulk of the old silicone off and cut out the overflow. Having it out obviously made it alot easier to get all the dried up...

OK, so I just want to be sure I get this right.
My understanding is that silicone won't stick to itself well. It's also my understanding that if I remove all the old silicone at the same time that the tank becomes a bit unstable and can "twist" more readily.
I see my options as follows:

Thanks for the advice. I got the glass clean pretty well today, and confirmed that there is a leak somewhere.
I assume that I should take off all the old silicone BEFORE I put any of the new stuff on? And do all the sealing at the same time? Do you guys think it's necessary for reseal the...
Hey guys. After lurking here for several months and posting a handful of times, I've finally bought my 75 gallon tank off Craigslist. It's a glass, predrilled tank, with a built in overflow. It was pretty dirty when I bought it, but I cleaned it up a bit today. I had it setting in my garage...
So then another subquestion...
Most of the used tanks I've looked at look REALLY dirty. Lot's of build up. Should this be a concern, or do these clean up pretty easily?
