I recently bought a used 220 gallon tank, it was up and running when I bought it with NO active leaks. The guy I bought it from said it was about 10 years old and might need to be resealed in the future. I really don't want to completely dismantle the tank when it has no leaks. Should I redo the inside silicone without taking it apart or leave it be? There is only one side that I personally don't think looks the best but I need your opinions! The picture of the bottom doesn't show it very well but the top edge is starting to lift a little as well. Thanks

I have never believed that resealing the interior excess silicon accomplishes much of anything. The strength and the seal is between the glass. I would test it but not do anything else unless it was leaking.

Thank you, I'm thinking of letting it be... I don't want to do a cosmetic interior seal and damage the seal I know is working.
 
As long as it is not leaking I wouldn't mess with it.
