Default Bracing Advice Please

I picked up a 48"x24"x24" (120 gallon) aquarium for a great price. While rinsing it with my pressure washer, I noticed that pockets of water formed under the silicone in several parts of the corner fillet.

So, I decided to reseal the tank. I currently have the plastic top brace (broken) removed and I have stripped out the corner and bottom seals, making sure not to damage the seal between the panes.

I plan to add glass euro & cross bracing on top and I was wondering, before I apply the new RTV, should I consider interior eurobracing on the bottom?

Would there be significant benefit? How would I go about this?

Your thoughts?
