silicon between tank's glass
If glass thickness is the same, is it the thicker the silicon the better? The more safer against leak?

i feel quality of silicon and workmanship are more important.

It is not the more silicon the better, it's the workmanship. Once sealed properly plus enough time for silicon to dry, there won't be any leak. The quality of the silicon is also important, as it will last longer.
