I don't know what to think

Hello, I bought a new aquarium. Are these silicones a problem? Does this aquarium leak water? I don't know what to think. What can I do?

Where did you get it/brand? You can try and do a fill test in the sink. Some of the cheaper Aqueon ones have this/a messy silicone job and I have had one with no problem. And yes you can always reseal it.

You can always reseal the silicone pretty easily...just buy a tube and smear it along the crevices where the glass panels come together...it's no big deal

Agree ,level on flat surface and test fill ,leveling mat also suggested.

Those joints aren't flush, though, and it looks like a few of the panels have gaps between the bottom of their edges and the table. That doesn't seem like it would be great for stability.

As David said. Why aren’t the sides flush with the bottom? This looks like a terrible reseal job. You could reseal it but I would move on. You want a strong intact tank especially for how long you plan to keep it.

I will change the aquarium with the same one tomorrow. I did not look carefully at the lower parts and their alignment. Thanks for the all comments.

Hi guys. Again me, I changed my aquarium an anotherone. But my ground is not flat. Will this be a problem?

 

[fishguy242]

Hi, nope not ok, level stand ,also would recommend thin 1/8" pad under tank.

Very thanks. I don't know which floor is crooked. Is it the floor of the dresser, the floor of the house or the floor of the aquarium. I'm out right now. I'll try harder when I get home.

Take it outside and do a fill test for 24 hours.
