Hello! Another "is my silicone alright?" thread. I believe each of this is a case by case basis personally. Any who i recently purchased a 18 Year old 120 gallon aquarium FRAMED 48X24X24 . He was the only owner and was never moved until now. There are 0 bubbles in the seams and the seam isn't brittle to the point where its falling apart but it's definitely a few years out from that.

I know this is a pretty generic request and won't be 100% accurate but i would just like to see various reefers opinions on this situation. thank you !
 
That's a tough choice since I bet that tank holds water just fine. But if it was me I would reseal that tank before filling it up. That silicone has seen better days (understandable since generally silicones recommended lifespan is about 20yrs)
