Silicone Peeling

Hello; hard to say what the leak potential might be. I have had a few seams open up in my time. Some looked fine and let go while others that looked ugly have held.
For me it would boil down to where the tank is. In a basement with cement floors I would not worry until it leaks. On a carpeted hardwood floor I might replace the silicone or the tank before too long.

Just another pic..it is pulling away from the top. I am getting nervous since it’s a 270 in my family room
Id have to agree with others on this one... could last 10 more yrs...could leak in 10min. all part of the game we play. Since its in ur livingroom and if u have another tank /tub to put ur fish in, it can be resealed and ready to go in a cple weeks time. Reach in and stick ur finger in it lol... ull know right away if itell pull off. if so, drain er down for a reseal. i once resealed a 265 for a friend over an hr away. Can be stripped, cleaned and re chaulked in a few hrs time. I like to let them cure for 7-12 days.
