Well the silicone is removed. It looks like it is not going to be a simple reseal. As i was removing the silicone I noticed the bottom pane is not centered. Back pane bottom centerer no silicone and same with the right pane bottom (corner to corner). Water under the silicone. Dam manufactured tanks. I will be busting this tank apart and rebuild. I hate removing the black plastic trim and cleaning silicone.
 I going to stop for now. Punch some holes tomorrow Today! Just in case the bottom pane cracks, then bust it apart.The good news the leak looks like it has salt creep and stopped leaking for now. So it give me some time. Crossing fingers.

Murphy has just popped his head out again! Drilling my last hole in the center hole. the pane chipped out big. Here are some pic's. Most likely I can not us this bottom pane. I have a spare piece of glass, but it has to be cut, and drilled. It is L48XW24. So I could get the bottom pane and the top bracing out of it.
  I guess it is time for a Jager and 7!

The chip doesn't look too bad in the photo .. ? I think if the bulkhead covers it you'd still be OK. Although I guess if you have a spare piece anyhow then there's no harm in starting over.
Having drilled my share of pieces over the years, one thing I wish I had at my disposal was a drill press.

well I got some work done. During the day I was looking for a glass shop that would help me out. ya right a week cut wait. I will try again tomorrow. I was looking at the bottom pane debating to us it. Something still bothered me. I measured the width 16 3/4" the the to side panes 17" width. Now wounder It had a 1/4" silicone gap at the front. I checked my stock pill of glass. I have a L47XW17 pane of glass that is smoked. I Figgured why not no one is going to see it with sand over it. I drilled and assembled the main part of the tank.
  The bulk head are just for ruff in.
