I am in the process of setting up my 120 gallon aquarium. I noticed a small section that has turned white. Is this silicone OK or is it starting to let go?

Note: The black kind of wavy section below is the silicone from the trim.

Have you leak tested it? If that were a vertical seam I'd be more worried all that water is pushing on that bottom seal when it's full

For a leak test I did a slow fill over a couple days. I was about 1/2 way when I noticed the silicone and drained the tank. I think my safest bet is to take the side panel off and reseal that side.
