I recently bought a used AquaPod 24 and it turns out that it's leaking. I removed a section of silicon and added replaced it, but it's still leaking. I'd appreciate help from anyone who's experienced with fixing aquariums, especially all-in-ones.

Not really experienced but I just did my first reseal and it turned out great. I removed all the silicone even though the leak was a very tiny one. I did this because I read how old, dried silicone won't bond with new silicone and you will still have a leak.

Thanks for the tip. If I attempt to fix it again myself I guess I'll try that, but it seems like that might mean removing *all* of the silicon in the tank.
