I decided to redo my sump after 1 of the baffles fell down during one of my test runs...lol (decided...yeah right)...During the process of taking down the baffle that collapsed, some of the bottom silicone of the aquarium became victim to my blade (I've attached pictures of the aftermath...since sending from my phone...I dont know how well it'll look). Most of the corner silicone is there, but some of it away from the corner got cut up a bit...Since the new baffle will go in the same spot...do I need to resilicone the bottom...or could i get away with just siliconing the baffles right over?

Why take the chance of it leaking and having to do it twice. If it were me, i would fix the leak first. Better safe than sorry.
