I just got this tank about 6 weeks ago from Innovative Marine. Jsut noticed on of the seams has a spot where the is an air bubble or not fully atatched (at least I think...)

Wanted to get opinions if this is okay?

Really hard to tell, but is the glass scratched or cracked to the right of the bubble area?
 
I'll be honest, you cant even really see that in person. Looks like a light scratch right at the silicon.
From my understanding as long as there is a seal, which it looks like you are sealed off both inside and out around the bubble, then you should be fine. But I haven't had personal experience with bubbles/or a tank failing. But if water/debris was working it's way into the seam I would be concerned.
 
as long as it's not leaking then it'll do. be careful not to scrap it with razor from the inside.
 
How big is the tank?
 
Should be fine
