Silicone issue

[Sgt Jonny Cat]

Hi Guys I couldn't get the picture to load in my other post. Here is a picture of the silicone bead in the corner of my 150. When I run my finger across the silicone it seems to lift up very easily. The structure between the glass panels looks great. I am thinking about stripping the silicone and resealing the tank. Is there any issue with removing the 2 overflow boxes in the corners? They seem to be attached with black silicone over the clear. Thoughts??

You can try, but new silicone will not stick to old silicone. Hate to say it, but the most common reply to situations like this about redoing silicone is to completely disassemble the tank, make sure everything is squeaky clean, then rebuild the tank.

Yes you can remove/clean ALL the silicone and redo it..
Use caution to not damage/cut into the structural silicone when doing so.
