Alright everybody, I have a problem and don't know what to do next. I was moving my 125 i just got. It was holding water when i got there, and with about a half inch left in it, i tried to lift one side to get the rest of the water out. The tank was stuck to the painted stand, and when i lifted, i accidentally shifted it side ways a little. I heard a pop, which i think was the stand and tank frame separating, but now the opposite side to the one i was on sprung a leak in the corner, and the leak was pretty significant for almost no water pressure on it 
. I stripped the silicon on that side, and the glass is not cracked or fractured. I also don't THINK the seal between the layers of glass is compromised, but i cant be sure because it is below the bottom frame where the leak actually is, making it hard for me to see any issues.
My questions are:
Would the tank twisting a bit cause the silicon to separate, or is there a good chance i would have to dismantle and redo the seem between the glass?
How safe would this tank be if i reseal the inside and it holds water? Is it going to fail catastophically a month from now if all the glass to glass seals look ok, and its not cracked?
If i can safely just reseal the inside, would i have to strip the whole tank because the new silicon wont stick to the old, therefore making it difficult to start a new seal in the middle of the front pane of glass against the old seal?
Thanks for any help guys. I was looking forward to getting this thing up and running, but I'm just a little unsure of what to do now. And id rather not take a risk if it doesn't seem like a common easy fix, because the tank wouldn't really be in a water friendly area if a seem popped 6 months from now.
