So I have a brand new 150 gallon Sc aquarium. I received this tank and it looks great. Before I add water, I noticed a seam on the back that had a 4 inch bubble. However it's not between structural seam of the two panels of glass. Those seams are perfect but it's the lining of the silicone inside the tank. I wanted to hear everyone's opinion as to wheather I should be worried about it. Appearently SC Aquariums says it's not a concern at all and that he even sent the pics to the factory that makes them and says it's no issues. Makes me kind of mad since it's brand new and clearly has sloppy silicon on the top edge.

If it's just the lining inside then there isn't needed for concern.. However you could ask for a discount just because the tank isn't perfect.
