If you do decide to try this repair I would have the tank sit on foam for the rest of it's life. Insulating foam like the blue or pink stuff or even the white stuff, just to make the weight of the tank spread out a bit better.

It's edge to edge so it won't spread. If you strip off as much of the old silicone as you can you should be able to add a patch that joins to the sides and on top of the bottom. Do spread a thin layer like BCOrchid suggests. I did something similar in my overflow, has been fine for about a year.
