Micro bubbles in silicone on new tank

[alexjoha]

Hi,
I just got a new tank the dimensjons are 150cm x 80cm x 55cm its a rimless tank with clear silicone and optiwhite glas. It has 15mm thik glass and now i can se alot of micro bubbles in the silicone. They wernt there before. The tank had had water in it for about one week now. The manufacturer says its normal for glass betwen 15-19mm and will disapere over time as the silicone stretche. Does anybody know if this it correct? Or should i be concernd? Seems like the micro bubbels are inside the silicone not against the glass.

Thank you for your help

I do believe that is correct. I had this happen on my 40 breeder, no issues as of yet. Anyone from #reefsquad have any more insight on something like this?

I would only be concerned if the bubbles extend to the edges of the glass. Probably nothing to worry about though

My 125g looked the same while filling. I was panicking. I kept my eye on it and it disappeared.

Did it go away over time? Or the same day? The micro bubbles i have came after 2-3days. Thank you for the help

Thank you it helps alot i was almost on the brink of tearing down the tank again after this. But it sounds like the manufacturer is telling the truth then

I called Jerry (former owner of all glass) and he indicated no issue unless entire bead was full of bubbles and often occurs when the caulk has an air pocket while being applied and collects air as silicone is porous and some will dissipate( not all of it) when its being spread along seam.
