this time i resealed the holder thing that holds the tank togther so it doesnt come apart ( cant think of the name ) and took the old sealent off the glass where it was leaking and added new silicone to it, so since its in my ketchin, tomm when i test fill it im goin to add 10 inches of water every hour to see if theres any leaks. that way if theres a leak i can drain it fast and reseal where its leaking and i wont have a big mess, so how does that soiund?
just got done re resealing my tank again

Good luck.
FWIW-
New/fresh silicone doesn't stick very well to old/cured silicone.
My guess is your tank will leak again. Maybe not today, but it will surely not last as long had you removed all the old silicone and resealed it. You can be sure it will leak at the most inconvenient time, as if there is ever a convenient time.

new silicone DOES stick to old silicone but just take a while for it to stock, and yes i already took the old silicone off.
