I used to make fish tanks and repair them
ocassionaly I ould suggest cutting out the silicon from
that corner back at least 150mm up and and along.
Any glazing silicon will do but acetic silicon holds stronger
rather than a natural cure based one. once your new bead is run along edges use a hand sprayer like a 2 or $3 dollar
one from supermarket and spray along new silicon lines
with water a fine mist will do then run a finger along silicon lines this will scoop up ecsess silicon and also push silicon into the edges allow to dry for at least a day and retest
goodluck.

There are certain types of caulks that are waterproof while drying, but as long as you give it enough time to dry I don’t think it should matter.

Easy question. I used to build all my own tanks. Buy a good quality clear 100% silicone. That is what they use when they make them.
