Hi Guys,

Would anyone be able to advise me, please?
Ive received this new Nano tank this morning (90L) and it has these bubbles in the bottom seam, these are the only bubbles in the tank.
Ive not filled it yet as I am concerned about them. Would anyone be able to advise whether its safe to fill up or should it be replaced?

Thanks

I can't quite make it out from the photo but is this the fillet to smooth the seam or the actual joint between two panels?

The horizontal blue line is the silicon along base of the tank, the bubble are between the side panel and base panel where they meet, between the panels. I hope this makes sense

Contact the manufacture and send it back that is a weak point... Having a seam blow out is not a fun experience
