Could I get opinions on this seam defect?

They seem pretty small compared to the sand particles.
At this point I doubt they will want to do anything.
The first few pics is nothing.
I wouldn’t worry about those personally.

Thanks for the input, everyone! No reply yet from the manufacturer, but this gave me a confidence boost. The tank is in my office where a seam failure would be particularly catastrophic so I'm probably somewhat too concerned.

I would certainly make sure any electric devices, power bricks, or equipment is off the floor high enough the water would run out of the room before it could get high enough to touch the electronics. Not to be pessimistic but accidents happen, and soaked carpet is bad enough to dry and replace (TRUST ME! I know), and a CPU can’t really be dried out or have the smoke put back inside!! Take Care...

I posted the above on my build thread, but re-posting the pic here to hopefully get some more feedback. I'm fairly certain that these bubbles are new, and I don't like the way the silicone looks around them either :(

Thoughts? I'll be keeping a close eye on it for any progression. The tank is on month one of a five year warranty. Should I just contact the manufacturer now, or are these bubbles fine long term as long as there's no growth/change?

Thanks in advance!


Only a concern it is it actually expanding or changing. If it is static then it is of no real concern.
 
Alright, well, full credit to SCA they replied to me within 24 hours of my first email with pics and offered me a full tank replacement :)I didn't post anything here initially, but I just got tracking info from the carrier today.

It makes me wonder if this tank was part of a bad batch or something since their response was so decisive. Anyways, good news. I'm thrilled despite the absolute quandary this puts me in. Do I swap the tank out as soon as it arrives or not? I can always keep the bad one for quarantine/hospital purposes and half fill it to keep pressure of the bad seam.
