Is my tank going to leak???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hello; I do not think that the bubbles are an issue. i have seen tiny bubbles form on the inside of a newly filled tank many times. They can stay for days before dissapating into the water or be brushed off by almost any sort of contact.

I try to dry the outside of a newly sealed tank and then try not to splash any water on the outside when filling it . I then run a dry paper towel along any seam that appears to be leaking.

If the outside has gotten wet from filling you may need to wipe it down and let the tank sit for a few hours. I leak can sometimes take a while to show up, but most have shown pretty quickly for me. Good luck.
 
This is just like if you shake water in a bottle, it creates bubbles. When you are filling you dump in more and more water so those bubbles form, i don't know the scientific reasoning but that is my knowledge.
 
Recall your high school chemistry. increase pressure increases gas solubility, decrease pressure and the gases come out of solution.
