So I downgraded one of my reef tanks that’s been running for 3 years from a 38 gallon to a 25 gallon lagoon
I just wanted to know if the glass would be fine
It’s been up and running for two days now

From what I can see it looks fine, but then again I am not sure if your are pointing out the silicone job, or something else in the pic your are pointing at.

Is that 1/8 or 3/8 glass?
I personally would have gone with 1/4" on those dimensions, but it may hold up without extreme flow in the tank. Be sure nothing accidentally bumps it, you might have issues then.
