Hello everyone, hopefully I have this in the correct area of the forum, I have a quick possibly somewhat unusual question about a new tank, so here goes:
I picked up yet another tank today and after the process of setting it up and filing (did a 90% fill normally do a 50% the first day but this is only a 20gal tank) I noticed a strange edge on the tank:
It appears as if the glass was either roughly cut and when the silicone was added it may squeezed into this area? Maybe even a sloppy silicone job. Im really not sure but I know that it doesnt look like any of the connections on any of my other tanks.
The other corners are just fine and look like every other aquarium I own or have seen:
My main question here is; Is this something to be concerned about? Will this sloppy area have any adverse effects on the tank structurally? Has anyone seen this before or does anyone here have a tank that looks like this?
Thanks ahead, for any responses!
P.S. Sorry the pictures suck, I snapped them with my phone while the lights were on and theres a bit of a refelction in the picture in question but it didnt show as well without the light. Also the 6 bubbles that lead up from the reflection of the light to the top of the tank in the first pic are water, just to clarify. The little bubbles or wierd area that are in question are over the dark part of the glass where the two pieces of glass line up.
