sent aqueon the pics and they finally got back to me and this is what they said:

Hi Mike,
When tanks this size are put together at the seam, the silicone pushes together and squishes out. As it dries, air bubbles may form inside the actual seam and stretch out. This is not something that will have any effect on the integrity of the tank. Most all of the larger tanks do have this happen to them, as the glass gets heavier and the maneuverability during construction gets more difficult.

Seems legit, especially since they're willing to put it in writing.
