Would you fill this tank?

I just got in my new tank, and I checked it over, and kinda concerned as ive never seen it before. Should I demand a replacement??

Not positive of what I'm looking at, but looks like an air bubble where the glass butts together? I wouldn't have a problem with that. Should be PLENTY strong enough. The silicone looks solid and it's got a brace circling that whole section (what it looks like anyway). More pics please.

Look for that in similar places on the other panels. It may be a spacer. I have those on my glass cages rimless.

I'd have no problem using that tank. If its either a spacer or bubble, it's nothing I would worry about

Saltwatercoral2 · 07/28/2012, 06:19 PM

There is something kinda like it located on the other panel where the side meets the fron on the other end, but its down by where the trim is. I will try and get some more pictures of it.

the tank is from Deep sea Aquatics, and I currently have a deep sea aquatics tank, and I checked the seems and stuff over on it, and there was nothing like that on that tank.

Here is a little better picture, but really probably the best I can do as for picture, as there is that circle spot and then a few spots under it, I captured it on one photo that ill post now

I see them. Wouldn't bother me at all.

Saltwatercoral2 · 07/28/2012, 10:22 PM

I sent the picture to DSA to get an explanation and to see what they say about it. Hopefully its nothing, because I really dont want to wait any longer.. I waited a few more weeks then I was told for this tank.

Saltwatercoral2 · 07/28/2012, 10:50 PM
