Brand new tank CONCERN

[chazesal]

Just got a brand new 60 gallon AIO and am having concern of a seal that may already be failing. Can anyone give me some advice on this?

Can you circle the area of concern? Is it toward the left on the bottom?

I would get in contact with the maker of the tank or try and get a replacement. Seems odd for a new tank to show water in a seam like that

Ice Cap

The potential for issue comes down to…will that get worse. Looks to be a thick layer of silicone, but whose to say if that will stay the way it is, or spread. And if it does spread, it will take time and then you would be out of warranty and they are off the hook. I would push for exchange / replacement

Yeah I just submitted a ticket this morning with some photos. Thanks for the advice

More issues I came across this morning. Looks like it will become a real problem with this tank.

Hopefully icecap will help you out with this. They generally are not known for high quality, durable products as-is...

Ice cap is rebranded foreign made stuff
They just slap their name on it

A lot of it is very good though! It’s just the quality control or support is sometimes lacking
