About a month ago I noticed a vertical line begin to appear on the silicon of my 60 gal. at first the lines were segmented, but now these lines (or splits??) run all the way up and down the sealent of the tank.

I cannot see all four corners of my tank because the aquarium is in the corner of the room, but the 3 corners I can see have these splits in the sealent. I have attached pictures of the tank. Does it look like I will need to take action (get a new tank/ reseal the current one) or will it be okay? This tank is only 3 years old.

I hope these help. It just looks like a white line, no bubbles or anything.crack3.jpg

It doesnt look overly concerning, silicone can flex. If it was a rimless I'd be more worried. Keep an eye on it.
