Danielcho is right on about the cuts, use a single side razor blade and a bunch of them, always a fresh sharp blade, they dull quickly. Keep them angled and you should not cut into the seam. Bad news is you should reseal before you have a leak .Reseal is about getting old caulk off before it gives way and compromises the caulk between the glass seams. Look at the seam where the leak is you should be able to see were the glass split by pressing down a little on the bottom pane[ after you cut out old caulk], if it is a little like a slow drip, reseal. If it is a 2 inch or bigger split reseal and sell
Kidding kind of .I built many glass tanks and mostly acrylic tanks for a living .Resealed a lot of glass tanks. Do not do a patch, reseal the whole tank bottom and sides ,new silicone does not weld good into old silicone. Where I have had splits in the seams I had to take the whole tank apart and redo.I have busted out the tempered glass bottom and tempered glass sides on 2 of my own tanks to be able to drill and put an inside overflow box in them I have done this for other people also, reseal or rebuild ,hopefully all you need is a reseal any problems I am willing to help
