Water leak behind internal overflow!!! Help

[jdaquariums]

Hey guys just recently set up this 20 gallon long, I purchased a Fiji cube internal overflow aio kit… I silicones the box on to the side glass with a thick bead of silicone on all back side. I wake up today and notice a small water level in the middle of the glass and overflow box possible leak through the silicone I added now there is no issues with tank overflowing if power goes out but will this have an impact on the health and progression of the tank if I leave it as is. Please help anything is greatly appreciated.

I can't see it causing any issues. It's just a sliver of water. Even if it filled right up it would just be done and over with. Going to be a nice little setup. :)

What a relief thanks a lot for the advice

As long as you’ve used the proper silicon, should be ok, I reckon.

I see you are using a glass heater. It needs to stay submerged to prevent the heater glass from breaking.
edit. maybe I am wrong, just in case.

I’ve heard of these exploding from not being in water too, hoping it won’t happen as long as I remember to unplug

I used 100% silicon Ge brand

I’m guessing you mean anti mold…. No it was not the one containing anti mold chemicals
