    While cleaning my glass today my wife had our dimmable recessed lights turned all the way up and I noticed something of concern.

    EMERGENCY Bubbles appearing in the tank seam! Am I out of options?

    Some backstory. This is my third large reef in this spot, both others were lost to poor manufacturing. The tank is a Planet Aquariums 125 gallon rimless, set on a maple stand that has been leveled, and the tank has been in this spot for nearly two years now. I haven't noticed the bubbles...
