    Default Bubbles in silicone

    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.

    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.
