Hello Reef Enthusiasts,

I've recently purchased an Aqua One MiniReef 120l tank, as a second tank.

I started putting water in the tank and got paranoid that the seals will not be strong enough to ensure the tank is watertight long term? I've attached photos let me know whether I should add extra silicone or not?

Thanks

Is the tank new or used?

You cant put new silicon on top of already cured silicon....it won't hold in the long run.

Alright buddy thanks, do you reckon it will be alright, I've got a red sea 250 and the tank just looks more solid
