Silicone on 75?
The corners on the 75 gallon look like they may need to be replaced. Thought I would post a few pics of the silicone. Should I not worry about it or should I resilicone the corners?
How would I go about resiliconing if needed? Can I just go over the old or cut out the old? The bottom and the top looks good. Any advice would be great.

Any air bubbles? I have a couple on one corner and it has been holding water for 2.5 years so far.

So just cut the corner strips out and apply new silicone. Should I clean the glass with anything before applying the new silicone?

um, cutting it out will be hard to do as what really makes it seal is between the edges..
