Unhappy Help! My 2ft tank is leaking and needs to be re-siliconed all around

Any advice on how best to re-seal a fish tank? Thanks in advance!

Drain, dry, remove old silicon, redo new silicon. Unless you want to try those "underwater" sealer type of silicon, but I never try before. May be risky.

I have drained the tank dry, removed the old silicon. Now just need to buy the silicone glue and redo it. But I heard need some skill to do this... :/ is gluing the interior corners of the tank sufficient?

Bro, why not just buy a used tank - much cheaper.

even a normal 2 ft tank with 5 mm glass and side bracing cost $18. save yourself the trouble and resealing is not easy...
