Bubbles in silicone

pancho · 07/22/2007, 05:05 PM

I purchased a 240 gallon tank and I noticed alot of bubbles in the silicone. Should I be worried about the tank eventually leaking? The tank has two glass braces at the top and two on the bottom.

I forgot to mention that the tank is new and has been running for just over a month.

looks ok to me. Since it has been holding water for a month with no leaks it probably is fine.
