Silicone seal

[rvamarcel]

I've been accidentally picking the silicone seals of the inside corners of my tank while cleaning it with a magfloat. I'm referring to the excess flat part of silicone that extends from the corners (I'm not sure if that makes sense, but the picture below will explain it better).

Should I fix it? Can it be fixed? Should I be concerned? No water is leaking and tank has a brace in the bottom and a rim on top (or brace, whatever it is called).

What's between the panes is what's really doing the holding

So, is it safe to trim it a bit then?

Cut with a blade along this line (see green line on the picture)

I would leave it if it was mine

You can cut that so long as you don't disturb what's between the panels.
