Silicon gaps?

[Notsolostfish]

I just noticed my waterbox infinia 190.5 of 3 months have like silicon gaps? How bad are those? Do they show any signs of concern?

It usually depends on the depth of the gap/cut/crack, but anything with the silicon being jacked up is ALWAYS a concern worth looking into in depth and you'll have to make a determination yourself.

I dont know what kind of determination i have to do? Since waterbox said its fine and no replacement going to be issued for it

you will have to decide if its something you are willing to live with, the videos are great and show great detail but seeing it in person is the best way to decide if it looks troublesome or not. I have had a tank leak so silicon issues always concern me

I'm no expert but the last one looks concerning. Not sure what you can do if WB says it's fine. I guess just document their responce and keep an eye on it is all you can do.

Maybe DIY a brace for that corner? A flat sheet of glass kind of holding those two pieces together as additional support. I cant believe WB told you to kick rocks. Make sure you have that printed out for your insurance company in the event something happens.

I don't think any of the videos show immediate cause for concern.

The only time I would fight with the manufacturer about something like this, is if I had proof that it wasn't there a week ago.

The first 2 videos just seem like uneven finish from manufacturing, simply cosmetic.

The 3rd video might be a concern if the adhesion continues to separate. Something you're going to have to monitor.

Hi i actually just zoomed in on it. And its a silicon cut not adhesion.

What do u think?

That last video helps out quite a bit. I honestly don't think that is an integrity issue.

You're very astute which will serve you well. Keep an eye on it, but I doubt you'll see anything become of it. But don't let your guard down.

Yeah for sure. We work hard for our tanks and gears its not a cheap hobby. This tank was an absolutely money vaccum. And its also my second reef tank. The first one i sold and upgraded to a bigger one. Yeah the first video made it looks 10x worse
