my 30 g all-glass developed a leak in the middle of the night and all
the water ran out by morning. i removed the bottom plastic strip and
discovered that there is a 3 mm gap between the bottom plate and the
front plate.  the silicone filling this gap deteriorated causing the
catastrophic leak. is this gap normal? how can i remove the silicone,
i.e. is this a chemical to dissolve it, so that i can re-seal the
tank?
