Very bad idea. It will create air pockets and whether it's a week later or three months later it will leak. Use a razor and get all the the old silicone out completely before re siliconing.
I actually just sold a tank to some dude on craigslist today that needs spares for temp tanks because his tank sprung a leak. While he was over here he told me his tank leaked so he broke it down and resiliconed it. I asked him if he stripped the old silicone and sure as hell he didn't. Said it lasted for about three months so he thought he was good but sure as hell it started leaking again. Anyhow, story pertained to the thread.
REMOVE ALL OLD SILICONE FIRST.
the silcon in between the corners are perfect on gaps or tears thats y i was thinking maybe i should go over it im gana start tomaro
no no bad idea. the bond between the old and new silicone wont last as long compared to new silicone on the glass. just re seal and you are good to go. watch this for re sealing aquariums http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKactsdPpO8&feature=channel_video_title
