Question, would it be best to remove all the silicone on the bottom panel meaning all 4 sides or just replace the silicone on the back of the tank?
Silicone does not stick to old silicone and cover ups are not possible....if u need to replace only 2" of silicone its still necessary to redo the entire inside of the tank to get a good seal. Strip the entire tank down and start from scratch. U need to do the entire tank at once including ur crack patches before it starts to cure or it wont work. U have around an hour give or take before it starts to skin over so start with the crack patches, around the bottom, then the upper side seams. This is prob y u keep having leaks only trying to cover the old silicone.

Ok thanks.. but before I resort to that, I'm still not convinced it's the bottom pane yet, I think it's the back corner seal. What I'm doing now is filling up about 5" at a time, letting is sit and check for leaks. Going to let it sit longer this time. Right now is the first fill, going to wait about an hour and then if nothing, fill again.
Good luck man sorry your having such a hard time with your tank. Btw nice stock as always
