Help/Advice Resealing Aquarium

I have a 172 gallon aquarium that needs resealing. I have had this aquarium empty in my basement and decided to set it up and as I was cleaning it I noticed some of the silicon looked like it needed replacing.

Can anyone recommend anyone that could reseal the aquarium for a reasonable price?

I've done a few, and I have no motivation to do any again, that's how it usually goes for people who have tried haha. Other then your bottom trim needing replacement, you basically have to remove all the old silicone, and reseal it like it was new, and being put together like at the factory.
New silicone doesn't like to adhere well to old silicone. It takes a lot of time, and patience. I'd watch some youtube videos, and see if it's something your willing to invest in after. If it were me I'd source another tank, and save yourself the headache.
