I test filled it for 24 hrs and it held water fine. There was no bowing but the seams have bubble which concerns me. Is there a quick fix for this? It's a 250g tank 5/8 thick.

bubbles usually is not a problem but I would save these pictures, and wait for say a month and then retake the pictures to see if they spread or not....if they have not, then chances are, the tank is safe.

Great advice. I actually think you'll be okay. I believe as long as the bubbles are minimal it won't spread and will hold water fine. But definitely do what ecoli73 suggested.

That's normal joe.. Tank manufacturers are good @ what they do, but far from perfect!
The tale, tell sign is when u see white hazing between the seams.. Thats when u should be in panick mode. ~mike
