Resealed the used fish tank I purchased - Too thin?

Hey everyone

 

Quick not: i've never used silicone or sealed anything 

 

I purchased a used fish tank and attempted to reseal all the silicone (the silicone was really old and loose).

 

I'm not sure if I did the silicone too thin.?

 

Tank is 60g

 

I have attached images of the job I did.

 

Will this hold okay or should I re-do it ?

Looks pretty clean for a first attempt.

 

As long as the tank is structurally sound, your handiwork should be water tight.  However, it's mostly the silicone between the glass panes that holds the tank together.
