I’ve had this aqueon 40 gallon for about 6 months now and when I set it up I made sure the tank and stand were both completely level and everything has been fine.
However I did a water change last night and after finishing I noticed these air bubbles in the seam and I’m not sure if the tank is going to start leaking soon or if it is something I shouldn’t really be worried about. Need opinions

Edit: now that I’m looking at more it looks like bubbles between the glass panels
 
Have the bubbles changed over time? Either way, that’s an absolutely horrible siliconing job. I would complain to aqueon.

I haven’t been able to notice any changes I just saw it last night so it’s only been a day so far.
I definitely will be complaining but probably going to have to go get a new tank tomorrow
