55 gallon aquarium tank been sitting for 10 years will it leak from sitting?
hi,
My folks have a nice 55 gallon aquarium thats been sitting for like 10 years in the attic think if i clean it it will still be good didnt leak before?
thanks
P.S still has gravel in it. Was gonna toss that.
Push on the silicon with your finger nail. If it is still flexible it is probably fine. If it is brittle and flakes, then it probably will leak. You can easily re-seal the tank if it does.
Always test any used tank. Just take it out to the yard or in the tub and leak check it to be 100% sure before you get going.
If the silicon is brittle and not sticking, I wouldn’t even bother trying to check it and would scrape and re-seal, then check it.
What can you tell me about setting up a saltwater aquarium?
My mom and I are planning on setting up our own saltwater aquarium once we get my aunt’s 30 gallon aquarium. How do you suggest we go about this? (we’re fish people but we know nothing about saltwater fish or aquariums)

How many tropical fish can I keep in a 150 gallon fish tank?
I am purchasing a 150 gallon aquarium, and I want to know an average number of fish I can keep in this tank. I do not want salt water fish, so I wonder how many tropical fish I can keep, average size of danios and minnows, or perhaps cold waters such as a few orandas or ranchus.

Is old freshwater aquarium water good for houseplants?
I have an established freshwater aquarium. When I do water changes, I want to be frugal and use the water to water my plants. Is this a good idea?
The old aquarium water has nitrates and some nitrites and is Ph balanced. There is also some diluted salts in it.

What equipment is needed for a saltwater aquarium?
I have a freshwater aquarium right now and would like to switch it eventually to a small saltwater aquarium. My tank is 10 gallons so I was planning on only getting one clown fish with a starfish or shrimp. I have a heater, an out of the tank filter, and thermometer. Is a protein skimmer and an air pump also necessary? Also my tank light is quite old and doesn’t have the wattage on it, so should i assume that I would need to upgrade the cover on my aquarium?
Where can I buy cheap, colorful fish and aquarium supplies?
I love the neon-colored fish that are at Petco. They are very bright orange, pink, and yellow. I love how they look, but they cost .00. I enjoy my aquarium, but would love to spend less as anyone would. I, also, need one new statue and one cave for the fish. Where can I buy that for cheap money? Thank you, in advance, for answering.
