Just did a reseal on a 120 gallon and used scs1200 black silicone. Noticing that in a few areas that silicone isn't pushed all the way in making a full contact in the corner with the two sides. Had the aquarium for 9 years, so inner seam is good. Did not redo inner seam, just the silicone inside the aquarium.

If I used clear silicone not sure if I would have even noticed it.

Do you think I need to redo the silicone or will this be ok? Appreciate any help. So far water is holding in the tank for 24 hours.

Appreciate the responses so far and putting my mind to ease. The vertical air bubble is about 2 inches up and down and probably 1.5 mm to 2mm not touching the glass seam. Just makes me nervous when you can see through to the other side.

Used my finger to smooth it out during the reseal and probably should have used a smoothing tool to make sure it had good contact against the glass. I did put a thick bead on it, 1.5 to 2 times the thickness of the glass.

Really didn't want to do a reseal but with brand new floors just installed, was worried about it.

So drained it and notice this hole in the bottom seal . Not sure if it was a air bubble that opened up after I test filled it but you can see the glass in the hole. Think I might have to try to reseal it again.
