Hello, hope I'm posting in the correct spot. I recently resealed (complete breakdown) a 90 gallon (48x24x18) tank I acquired. I used GE silicone 1, and waited 5 days before water testing. It didn't have any trim or bracing when I got it. During the water test I notice a few spots where the silicone was separating on the vertical seams. One spot grew as I filled it. The tank also developed a 1/4" bow when full. Did I not wait long enough for a full cure? Or is the lack of bracing causing most of that issue, or possibly a combo of both. I'll attach a picture of the seam.
Thank you!

Also, is that seam bad to where I should completely break it down and redo with a better silicon?
