    I just got the 65g I'll be replacing the 40g with but it was sitting in a basement for 2 years and I would feel much more comfortable redoing the silicone and knowing everything is secure.
    So, anyone wanna help me out? I'd get all of the supplies and provide plenty of yummy food. I love to cook! There's no hurry either. I plan on switching the tanks just after christmas so whenever works for you is fine.


    Let me know! Thanks! Kylie

    I do have a few tubes of aga silicone....the good stuff. $8 per tube. I don't know how many you will need....at least two. I could send them with Bill.

    Also, by a 'few' razor blades, Bill meant 'at least 25 razor blades'....trust me on this. A sharp blade makes all the difference in the world. I also recommend mineral spirits over rubbing alcohol.

    Ok, I'll write all of this down and get it. Thank you so much Bill. Do you have any favorite treats or cookies or something I could make you? I probably won't be able to get all of this until mid-December but I'll let you know when I'm ready for you /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif THANK YOU!!!!
