Silicone problem or no? Photos

[AmatuerAuer]

I just noticed this color change in the back panel, bottom seam, dead middle of my Marineland 120. It's a new tank so it's not like it just happened. Oversight on my part

There is a silicone bead on the inner portion of the tank. It dips slightly but it's there. What is this color difference? Should I fill test? Catastrophic problem?? Bought it new.

Wasn't sure where it belonged. I'm new & it's equipment.

Thanks

They not using thick enough glass?

Not sure whats going on but have saw few problems with them lately.

I'm going to call the LFS today and see what my options are.

I don't understand what I am actually seeing there...

Joker - The LFS said they have heard of issues and will take it for a swap out. Any idea which brand you would recommend?

AGA/Aqueon? Different Marineland?

If you aren't In a hurry I would recommend a custom build. Get a lot better tank and can get what you want. If go standard I have heard good things about deep blue.
As for the marineland I hope they get the tanks straightened out. They actually used to make good tanks.

I don't need custom. The dimensions are pretty standard and the corner overflow is appealing to me.

The LFS carries Aqueon but the middle overflow doesn't appeal to me at all..

Deep blue would have to be shipped I don't have a retailer in the area

My vote is aqueon. The way is in your first thread
