Silicone question

[PteroisVolitan15B]

I filled my new 150 up just to make sure no leaks, which shouldn't be since its new but I always check any ways. Im prob just being a worry wart but in between to two edges of glass in one corner theres a white line going along it I guess silicone heres some crappy photos can kind of tell what Im talking about and was just wondering if that is fine or should I take the tank back and order another? Thanks for any suggestions

well I drained the tank and the line doesn't really show up without water in the tank so I'm not sure if it's detrimental to the tank or not

who made the tank? i probably wouldnt worry about it if aqueon or another big company made it they inspect them before they ship them

It's a Perfecto tank I can put that side on the back just don't want it to cause a problem down the road, still haven't filled the tank yet just waiting to see what everyone thinks or if i can get a hold of Perfecto Thanks in advance

You could try to make it creep out by filling it with a little saltwater. It might take it a while to creep out thought. I can't really tell from the pics too well.

I called Perfecto today and they said that bubbles between the side glass and the front glass are nothing to worry about and that is why the tank is double sealed, so I guess I will quit stressing about it, LOL

yeah I have yet to buy a tank with no bubbles in the silicone. and from a profesional caulker here stuff like that does not matter. as long as the silacone has been slicked properly there is nothing to worry about. what u want it the edge of the silicone to be nice and sealed. the rest don't realy matter much. at least thats with bathroom caulking as well as expansion joints and such.

Yeah thats kind of how she explained it she said where they join the two pieces of glass together is okay as long as the inside seal is good so I guess I go on and set it up even though I lost the fish I had planned on putting in there
