Microbubbles aquarium seals

[becks]

Well,

i filled up my new aquarium over the weekend and saw this on the seals the next day. Frustrating, I’ll see what the company says but it’s annoyed me enough to leave the hobby.

Silicone sealant cures when exposed to air. Because of excessive moisture or because of high temperatures (around 120 degrees Fahrenheit or higher), small gas bubbles can begin to form. These bubbles can grow in size rapidly, should excessive heating occur before the sealant can cure. These sealant gas bubbles happen most regularly in instances of damp weather.

See what the co says. Since you have to look at it,front seam, I would want a new tank

I wouldn't worry about it. I had a 240 gallon with the same exact issue and never had any problems with it. My current tank also has the same bubbles in the silicone and it is holding up just fine.

If it's new, I wouldn't settle. I would want a perfect seam to have peace of mind.
