I bought a 135 Gallon tank for 100$ :p

But it has a little tiny problem ;p, it leaks a little bit after resealing it with silicone all the way.

We are thinking about redoing the tank, and take all the glass out and resealing it ALL THE way with new glue and new silicone, my question is.

WHat kind of glue should we use, we can get 2 ton apoxy from walmart I am almost 100% sure it is for glass as well.

Also how to get all the air out of the glue/silicone and get all the air out of the seal, I noticed new tanks have a deep blue face where the glass comes together with each other, my brother recomended what we do was put the apoxy on the glass then move it up and down agenst the 2 pieces to get the air out then clamp it down.

Also the black border around the bottom is about 1/2 off so we are going to just take it off, and make a wood mold around it.

If anyone has any advice let me know.
