I rescued this 50gallon tank from a garage. On the first inspection I thought it looked good(silicone is fine and it's feels very solid overall) and I have tried to waterfill it for 2 days, it holds water just fine so far.
Anyway upon further inspection I realised that one corner is quite damaged and I even had a small piece of glass loosen from it when I tried to inspect. My main concern is simply if it will hold up over time or not, if you believe it's in bad shape is there any repair/safety measures I could possibly do without replacing the panel? (wouldn't be worth it for me personally)

Any advice and thoughts are welcome. :fish2:
 
Yeah, that looks pretty bad. I've resealed many tanks, but unless you put some metal corner molding on it with plenty of silicone 1, I don't think I'd personally trust it
