BTW, I also don't think silicone would hold the weight of that thing together. When someone mentioned "sealing" for moisture, there are water-proofing
finishes that dry non-toxic & are used for coating 'real' wood (ie. solid wood) enclosures, but they won't do anything for particle-board (fake wood). And
yes, silicone is used to waterproof corners of glass tanks so they don't leak water, but the particle-board crumbles with every little movement...I don't
think that will hold this together, sorry. The only way you might (-I'm not saying "should") salvage this is to install a solid wood framework around all
the corners (using right angle wood molding- ask a place that sells custom lumber)...but no guarantee. For the money & hassle, just buy a glass tank,
especially if you've never worked at all with wood. (I've been making my own wood & screen tops for tanks for years, also finishing furniture and even
converting some cabinets to house snakes.)
