Hi there,
I'm new to the fish owning world and am looking for some advice. We have a 35 gallon hexagon shaped tank that just started leaking this morning. Is it better to purchase a new tank or is there a place that I can contact to repair it?
it certainly could be repaired using silicone cement (using only the type designed for aquariums). But you would have to empty the tank to fix it. If its leaking slowly only at one join, it would fairly easy to fix.
IMO, replace it. :)
I thnk you just want to buy it from her :)

haha
or depending on how old the tank is...you can strip the whole thing and resilicone the whole thing...I don't trust patch jobs and just re do the whole tank lol I'm working on siliconing a tank right now :)
+1 Replace it BEFORE it fails completely...
My choice would be to replace the tank.
If you decide to fix it, keep in mind it will probably not look as good as it did and you will worry about it.
Once it starts leaking...failure is likely...soon.
IMO replace it +1
replace it and use it for a nice terrarium.
Does anyone want it? I replaced the tank (and I now have other problems with the fish which is a work in progress) but am willing to give the tank away if anyone wants it. Hexagon shaped tanks are more expensive from what I understand and if it can be re-sealed and re-used, then why not?
+5 for replacement...
check your pm's. ill def take that tank and turn it into a nice terrarium.
Tank has been claimed!
