I cant speak to all of them, as I am not very well versed on the structural integrity with bubbles... but as far as the last 2 pictures are concerned, I wouldn't be worried about those.

I am not sure if the first 2 pics of the corner bubbles is bad or not... or whether that line in the 3rd picture is a concern either. Im sure some other people will chime in soon.

Edit: for the 3rd picture, are you showing the darker white blotches or the thin long wave looking thing? The white blotches may be due to not adhering too well if the edge of the glass is beveled on the inside part... if thats the case, I wouldn't worry too much about the bevel not being filled, so long as the flat part of the glass has full adhesion.

Thank you for your feed back

3rd picture i am concerned about the white bubbles. The line seems to change with the angle when i take picture. Not really concerned about it.
my biggest concern would be the bubbles in the corner from the first pictures

I spoke with the manufacturer and they said their technical team looked at the photos and said there is no need to worry about it.

lets hope its true

Just keep an eye on it and if you see increase in size of bubbles, reach out to them again!

I have had a tank before that had air bubble inclusions and it never grew. I also had another tank where after about 9 months the bubbles started to expand. The company replaced the tank (but it was a pain in replacing it, as you can imagine).
