I purchased a 240 gallon tank and noticed a ton of bubbles in the silicone between the side and front glass. Should I be concerned about the tank leaking? The tank has two glass braces at the top and two on the bottom.

I think the manufacturer is Aquatrend.

You did not mention if it was new or used. Personally that's a bit to much water for me to trust.

The tank is new. It has been running for just over a month.

Id keep an eye closely on it. I believe theres been posts in the past about a aquatrend tank busting at the seems. If you were dealing with a 75g I wouldnt be to concerned but a 240g just watch it, you are probably ok.

I thought the manufacturer was Aquatrend, but it is actually OceanView.
