my brand new 150 dosnt got silcon only inside the seams is this normal thanks
 
the tank dosnt have the extra silcon on the corners it only has it in the seams
 
Do you know who manufactured the aquarium?

Glass aquariums usually have silicone that bonds each pane together on their edges and then an additional fillet in all the corners.

Any chance of a clear pic of what you are concerned about being insufficient silicone?
 
my 150 gallon tank is just like yours, been up and running for 7 years with no problems....enjoy
 
The extra fillet of silicone in the corners is not structural, it is simply an extra safeguard against leaking. So a quality silicone job between the two panes shouldn't require extra silicone.
 
thanks guys now i can set it up with no worries and enjoy
 
if your cautious then put it outside fill it up with water and test it for a week or so to see if the silicone is holding up fine.

If its a brand new tank then i would contact the company and tell them about your problem.

If its not it might need a new resealing job done.
