210 Reseal

[powerlifter4]

I have recently purchased this aqueon 210 and was told it was roughly 15 years old or so. Some seams looks fine, others suck. The bottom perimeter silicone is pretty intact. I will be resealing it soon. Are there any concerns with the bubble spot in the picture? That's the only edge with that. I prefer to not rip the whole thing apart due to that. Thanks!

Looks like a shard of glass coming off the inside of the long panel. Personally i dont think this is a problem and the tank is plenty serviceable. Always a good idea to monitor it moving forward for the separation getting worse.

Ill throw in my usual reseal tip even though it wasnt asked for. Make sure to remove ALL of the old silicone from the seals, every sliver and smudge. After thoroughly stripping the seals, I usually scrub/buff every square inch of those edges with a dab of acetone or alcohol to make sure. With larger tanks it can be easy to miss a small spot and botch the whole job.
