50 gallon tank silicon issue

[gazz81]

Hi. First time poster here.

I purchased a new 50gal tank and stand a week ago. Was have it a look at the tank to see how it’s settled on the foam pad, while doing so I noticed some bubbles in the outer silicon close to a corner at the bottom, inner seal is fine. Not sure if I should get it replaced ? It will be a massive pain in the butt, but so will 50 gal of water on the floor

I can't really tell what I'm looking at here, are there big bubbles all thoughout the caulking?

Hi. And thanks yes they are bubbles, it’s not all the way just in that section of silicon.

That seems like a lot of bubbles. I'd look into returning the tank. It's brand new so getting a replacement shouldn't be an issue right? You shouldn't have to stress about issues like this on a new tank
