Good or bad Seal?

Chris’s fish · Dec 16, 2018

Hello,
I just picked up a aqueon glass 125 gallon aquarium. It’s brand new and I have not set it up yet. I was inspecting the seams and came Across these bubbles in the silicone. When I press hard on the front glass I can see the bubble being pressed. Is the tank fine to set up or will the seam break when I fill it with water? Thanks for anyone that can help!

those don’t appear to be detrimental.

Ok, thanks.
Even if I can press the glass and see the bubble being compressed the seam is fine?

there’s definitely air trapped in there, but there appears to be enough silicone surrounding it, that i wouldn’t be concerned. just keep your eye on it to make sure the bubble doesn’t get bigger.
