So today whilst cleaning the back of my custom built 260g tank, I noticed that along the back bottom of the tank, the algae were actually growing inside the inner silicone seal. I must have accidentally scraped the side off of the silicone while I was scraping the algae off, causing the edge of the inner seal to lift off that’s why algae is growing in there. Should I be worried about potential future leakage of the tank due to this?
Definitely going to stop scraping along the edges from now on, but I’ve probably been doing this for over a year or two before I noticed it last night… the tank is about 3-4 years old.
