Silicone seals bubbling...

[Fishyfan]

The seals on my 180 gallon seem to be developing air bubbles. The tank is around 3-4 years old and I don't remember the bubbles ever being that noticeable. It appears to have got a bit worse over the last year. Is this something to be concerned about? I don't mind how it looks but is it going to cause my seals to fail? Both the left and right side seals up front look like this.

I would watch it fairly closely. This could be a sign that the silicone is giving way on the seam. Take pictures and document any changes. If there are noticeable changes, you should look at fixing the issue

I would contact the manufacturer and ask them about it. A couple of the big manufacturers have lifetime warranties on their big tanks. You could get lucky and get yours swapped out for a brand new one.

^^very good advice. Worst case you end up resealing it your self. Not hard, but time consuming.
