This is the factory silicone, it seems to have turned yellow the whole way through

This is the silicone that i did, and it seems to be the same way as well, this is just a few spots

and this is the sump, and well its pretty much its own dam story and it worries me the most…

That has happened to one of my sumps back in the day. I still don't know why. Did you put any chemicals in the water when it was filled?

not any that i can think of, i put a vinegar and water bath through it for a day then after rinsing everything out i put a saltwater mix in, its old salt though from my last tank, I gave it all a good shake to mix things up again but do you think the salt might have done something? Is there a use before date on salt haha

other then that I can't think of anything that might have effected it like this - chemically speaking
