Resealed the used fish tank I purchased - Too thin?

Hey everyone

 

Quick note: 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 ?

I would absolutely test it outdoors and maybe give it a few test bumps to make sure nothing leaks.  Tanks are hard to get clean lines on due to odd angles, so alot of people use tape to help keep them straight.  

60 gallons is alot of water to leak out. 

 

You made sure to use a safe sealant?

Yeah I used tape to guide the silicone.

 

Yep I used 100% silicone for aquariums, I'll test it outside and see how it goes
