Just got this 33 gallon, didn't notice the silicone when I picked it up as I'm a rookie. No leaks were mentioned but is this just a ticking time bomb? I'm not sure when it was last resealed.

Did you reseal? I've done several tanks, key is pulling all the old silicone out and cleaning it good with some diluted vinegar and a razor blade. I also go over with some rubbing alcohol right before I apply and then let it dry. I use my finger in a latex glove, dampened in clean water, to create a smooth surface that also fills in the cracks better
