sealing on a fish tank

[Lutino Oscar]

is there any way to reseal a fish tank? my tank i have was left outside for nearly a year and the sealing cracked and it leaks on the bottom corners and the sides anything i can do about it?

Simple process.At least simpler than you think.
Patience,steady hand,and a 100% silicone that's aquarium safe is what's needed.Will require stripping all the old silicone out,scrapping glass clean with razor blade to remove all old bits,and wiping down with good cleaner (mineral spirits)...mainly because silicone will not adhere to silicone,so all old must go.
A good,solid,way to keep tank sides squared is to tape off and/or use pipe clamps with blocks of wood.

thanks oinky, and also, i found a tank on craigslist its a 45 gallon tank with all the supplies comes with it for 50$, i just couldnt say no, i understand it is 10 gallons off for a minimum of one oscar but the tank is coming with 600 gph hob filters. the guy i am buying it from also had oscars in there. is it ok for a oscar?

Nice pick up, but not a long term Oscar tank

What size is the one that's leaking? As Gerry said a 45 is too small for an O long term. Here's a good article on how to reseal a tank.
