Air pockets in seals

[Riftraft]

Hi, I've got a 75 gallon tank that's about 15 year old. I was draining it the other day and realized there was some air pockets in the seal itself and it wasn't in one area. It was all the way around the whole bottom seal. Anyone ever experienced this at all? Should I be worried about the integrity of the seal? And I should also add, it's a factory seal. Hasn't been re-sealed before. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

That looks fine, some bubbles in the silicone are normal. It is when there is more air than silicone you start having an issue.

You should see my 20 year old custom 66 gallon. Tons of air bubbles.

If you didn't see any air pocket for the last 15 years and start seeing it now then it's not normal, It doesn't leak but doesn't mean it normal

I cant tell from the pic,

Is it on the inside seam the thick bead?

Or is it between the glass panels?

If its just on the inside bead, I'd keep an eye on it but not be too concerned

It's not in the meat of the seal, but I've been in the hobby a few years now and have never seen this before. I will monitor closely, but wanted some opinions. I appreciate all the responses everyone.
