I have been having trouble getting answers- so I'm hoping someone here can help!
I just bought a 3 years old 175 gallon oceanic bowfront from the LFS. The silicone was worn in one of the corners, so I decided to re-seal it. I cleaned it off really well and applied the new all-glass clear silicone and the next morning, I noticed the joint which is the front pane to the side has small air lines. I know it wasn't there the day before. I'm not sure what's the cause of this and I am hoping I do not have to remove the joint silicone that attaches the side to the front pane, that would be more work. If anyone here can advise and give me their advice, I would greatly greatly appreciate it!
Thank you!
The tank itself, the far right is where the "Issue seam" is.
This is after I did the seams with clear silicone on the inside, while the oceanic is originally black. You can see the original black silicone which is the joint that you can see the air line? If that is what it is
Here you can see the black silicone has the thin air lines
This is how it looked for the other side of the seams, which I did not repair. You can see a slight blue line? Is that an airline or bubble too?
