Sorry about that.
I'm no expert, but if it was my tank I'd contact the manufacturer for a replacement. I know that when seals are well done there should be no bubbles. I wouldn't know if it will cause issues, but I go by better safe than sorry so wouldn't keep it regardless.
 
Was it like that when it was dry or did it occur after being filled? That's quite a few air bubbles if it's new I would definetly get a new one. Last thing you want is for it to start leaking months down the road, you will probably be thinking about it every time you look at the tank.

The tank has had few since day 1 but the tank is going on a year old in may
 
are the bubbles between where the panes but up against each other or in the squeeze out that they smooth to make it look nice...

between the panes is structural.. on thew squeeze out is aesthetic

here is my 11 year old tank

most of the aesthetic stuff is ripped off and crumbly but the structural seal is intact
