Hi,

Here are some photos of silicone seams from a newly completed custom tank. I don't want to say what company it was until I get peoples thoughts on the workmanship of these seams. The company says these spots are a side effect of using the strongest silicone and 3/4" glass. These spots are all on the front pane, there are more on the bottom edge which is covered by the stand and several more on the back panel as well.

It looks like air bubbles. It shouldnt be a functional problem just more of whether its aesthetically pleasing.
 
I"m not worried about leaking or structural issues, I was just doing an informal poll of people who have purchased "high end" custom tanks to see how many would raise issue with the mfg over 8 or 10 spots like that in the front facing seam and a similar amount on the rear.
