Cracked tank

All of my tanks have chipped corners like that. I am bad with my morning coffee. I love to sit and watch my fish and have my morning coffee. Anyway my tanks have now all been resealed in the corners and only one had a small leak. They are an easy fix with 100% pure silacone.

all you have to do is go to walmart or a LFS and buy a bottle of the silicon gel stuff. it comes in black or clear. read the directions and ure good to go. its like $5 at walmart and anywhere from $8-$15 at a petstore.. same exact product.. ur choice

thanks for the advise didn't know if it would cause the tank to be weak in that corn last thing I want is to have a flood. One last thing all the seals are dried and cracked do I remove that before I reseal or just silicone over what is there?

remove it, then clean and dry all the surfaces to be sealed - i'd use rubbing alchohol to clean them.
