I've never dealt with that company, but it seems odd to me that they won't do a reseal unless it's that they are concerned about the height of the tank relative to the thickness of the glass. I presume "reseal" would be taking all 5 panes of glass apart and putting them back together and not just a "hobbyist style" reseal of stripping the inside edges of the tank and re-running a bead around the edges.

You would think that a failure due to pressure causing the glass to flex would happen in the middle of the side, not the bottom where there is a frame providing support. 

That sounds more like a problem with the application of the silicone or perhaps the tank flexed when it was moved to the point that the bond with the glass was weakened.

I believe Blair knows someone that reseals tanks.

I believe Mark is the person I spoke with.  He is the one that make all of the tanks himself.  He said it is too time consuming to remove all of the silicone.  I even said I would do that and just bring him the cleaned glass and frames.  He said he still would not do it!
