Pretty normal. My 180g aqueon is the same. It's the silicone actually between the glass panels that matter. This is extra that doesn't matter other than appearance. I think the extra silicone is called flashing but I'm not positive.

Mine has had some bits and pieces but it’s been 3 years since so in my experience it fine ( I also have a 90 )
The seam on my 90 gallon marine land looks like this is this serious or is it normal?

If I am being serious then I would say it looks abnormal, but safe.
A picture from the other pane with light illumination of the seam between the glass panes could also help to verify that the seal is intact between the two edges of glass.

This is how all the vertical seams are on my 180g. Been like that for several years. I've been tempted to try and tidy it up a little with a razor blade but haven't bothered.

Slightly above my thumb is the concern that’s where the panels meet, it’s like that in a few other places on the tank also but it looks fine from the other side.

Hmm I see now. I don't see that on mine. I don't think I would panic but it would be something I'd keep an eye on.
How old is the tank? Is it possible it has always been like that? It doesn't look like sand or anything has gotten in there like the failures I see posted.

all about the diy!!!!!
How does it look from the other side? Do you see a bubble in the silicone? You can’t tell anything looking at that way.
