Default Re-Silicon glass in glass (Need advice)

Hi guys, i have a 5x2.5x2.5 tank and its leaking. Suspect that the leak is at the front bottom side. But I can only see the leak through the cabinet as the tank edges is covered. It only leak when the tank is about 1/5 to 1/4 full.

The edges uses glass in glass. Any advice on how do i re-silicon it? Or is there any professional does this?

Thanks!

I would advise you to go back to your tankmaker.
Some doprovide warranty for up to 5 years.
If warranty expired, get them to assess whether can resilicon back or get a new one instead.

usually the tank maker will ask you to get a new one instead as part of the business = $$$ income....

Will contact the tank maker today.
The leak is about 1 drop per 5seconds.
Tank is around 3 years old. Given by my friend.
Tank is empty now. So repair can be done.

Bro, just make sure repair is done by a professional in that field. Just to ensure no hazard to you or your family.
