Waterbox reef air bubbles in cualk help

[Duncan62]

Hello guys I just got my waterbox reef 130.4 on Friday I just noticed there is is air bubbles or missing cualk between the back corner of glass.... Here a few pictures what yall think I know its hard to tell

Not acceptable even on an aqeon or discount tank. I'd return it.

I agree with u.... But the seam should be 100% there should not be missing silicone... Trust me I would love to fill it

You paid a premium for a waterbox. You got a poorly mad discount tank. It's very simple. It's not what you paid for. Your correct to expect replacement. Also it should be a 20 year warranty. Not 4. Get a new tank. Good luck.

That's almost unbelievable that they're going to just eat the entire thing. That's gotta hurt 'em... but good for you!

Did you tell them that you were discussing the purchase in a very popular online reef keeping forum? Because that would certainly motivate them.

Looks like a rather lengthy gap in that pic, but its a weird angle. Need another pic or two. Use a flashlight to show length of gap on front and side edge.

Here's a few pics it looks like the foam pad has been cut on a angle on all corners so maybe that why it looks like that
Still don't under stand why stand is level but tank is not

Why oh why do people run these large rimless awuariums, it’s going to leak, does the warranty cover replacing your floor?

The corner foam is fine. Fill it up and throw some salt in it.

Even If the bottom of the tank is not touching the stand... Also stands reads level tank reads not level

The photo looks like compressed foam in the corner i bet as it gets filled things start looking better.

The weight of the water will compress everything. I have a 200 gallon with a corner like that. I say run it.

OK one my question wen the foam compresses will it level the tank... Stand read level but tank read out of level

Level the tank, put an inch or so water in and check it by measuring down from the upper corners of the tank. Don't worry about the stand or the gap, it's just the foam.

If the stand is level like you said it was, then the tank should be level too. How far out is it? Could you post photos of the levels so we can see?

 

[Beau_B]

What are you using for a level?

From what I can see those are both touching the line, essentially the same.
