I got this used ReefSavvy tank is in good condition but im concern about that corner. I doesn't leak tested for a week. should I leave it alone? Im afraid to
mess with it and make it leak.

Tank
 
The silicone in the tank doesn't keep it from leaking, the silicone in between the glass panes is what keeps it from leaking, the silicone bead inside the tank simply protects the silicone between the glass. If it doesn't leak you should be good to go.
 
Thanks guys. What I'll try to do is remove the small area I know is not in contact with class and run small beam so Silicone on the area.
 
Keep in mind that new silicone doesn't cure to old silicone. If you're going to do you might want to think about resealing the whole tank.

Interesting. I didn't know that. I always worried about touching the silicone with my scraper.
