Ok...Happy New Year...back to the 388gal., removed the rest of the silicone in this tank. the bottom was a challenge...used razor blade, hard on the fingers.
Each side glass panel had two of these plastic pieces under glass, looks like a mini popsicle stick. This leads me to believe this is an older tank, when they built older tanks they thought a space between glass was good.
On left side of tank at bottom I heard a pop sound when I was removing silicone...seal ok?!!! 
This is the tank silicone free on the inside. Time to seal up the inside! And water test!
This is outer back corner of tank, there is a L-shaped metal piece on the corner. It was siliconed on for decoration, I assume there were four of these, one on each corner when the tank was built. I took some plastic shims(in picture,to left of metal piece), and pried this piece off, removed old silicone that was holding it on. Considering painting tank back and half sides black.
