Silicon question

[gpd124]

On my new tank the silicon appears to have formed bubbles where the edges of the glass meet. Is this something to be concerned about.

Sort of hard to see, but this is a pic of the right side. The left side doesn't have as many.

If it isn't leaking then do not worry. The inside part of the silicone may have not been smoothed correctly. As long as it is sealed then you are fine.

Yeah, you should be fine as long as it isn't leaking. If it does you can easily fix with more silicon.

I would contact the tank manufacturer. By bringing it to their attention you may get lucky and get a free tank or something. You never know. Maybe they know they had a bad batch of silicone, but knew it didn't effect enough tanks to do a full recall. If nothing else, if your tank does happen to start leaking they will have on file that you reported the problem. Good luck!

Nice!! That is a good idea
