I'll bet the silicone just came seperated in those bubble-spots. probably from temperature change or something. or it could be shotty workman-ship. keep an eye on them and make sure they don't grow, and that more don't show up (look for water seeping out of the seams, too).

that's why I like to use a substrate. you don't notice things like that. Of course, I'm the guy that turns up the radio when my car starts making strange sounds.

hopefully somebody else can give you a more definitive answer.
 
if you can get to the spots and mark them i would do that so you know exactly how large they are and if they get bigger you will be able to tell really easy and then you know u have a problem

LOL...I used to do that with my old car.



Maybe just to be on the safe side, reseal it again? Better safe than sorry.
 
I think your fine. But I guess if you really want to tear it down and reseal...you could...I wouldnt...ive seen it before and never seen a problem

the spots almost look gone so i have no idea what it is. it use to be a reptile aquarium though.

Used to be a reptile aquarium? was it made specifically for reptiles? tanks made specifically for reptiles aren't designed to contain water pressure. seems like you're okay, though. what size is the tank, and how thick is the glass?
